Domaine Bernard-Bonin Meursault La Rencontre, Cote de Beaune, France 2022

It’s not every day you hear about a young domaine in Burgundy whose wines have, relatively quickly, reached the acclaim of the area’s most historic producers. Bernard Bonin has been in operation for fewer than 30 years, and their biodynamic wines have achieved elite status alongside those of Coche Dury and Domaine Roulot.

Véronique Bernard and her husband, Nicolas Bonin have developed with a cult-like following for their biodynamic artisinal and terroir-driven wines from sites in Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, since the domaines founding in 1998.

Meursault “La Rencontre” 2022 is a beautifully focused and highly allocated village Meursault that captures the domaine’s signature precision and energy. Aromas of lemon zest, white peach, and citrus blossom intertwine with crushed stone and subtle almond notes. The palate is vibrant and finely textured, balancing purity of fruit with electric acidity and a long, saline finish. Elegant yet quietly powerful, “La Rencontre” is a standout expression of modern Meursault terroir driven, collectible, and built to evolve gracefully in the cellar.
