Domaine Bernard-Bonin is a family-owned wine producer based in the village of Meursault. The estate, run by Nicolas Bernard and Veronique Bonin, follows organic and biodynamic practices in the vineyards, aiming to create wines that showcase the purity of the fruit. The Meursault ‘La Rencontre’ comes from two terroirs ‘Les Pelles’ and ‘Sous La Velle’, both planted with old vines of over 75 years old. The 2020 vintage can be enjoyed now but may also benefit from additional bottle aging.

Despite strong competition, the 2020 Meursault La Rencontre came out victorious. This cuvée emerges from two lieux-dits, Les Pelles and Sous La Velles, both populated with vines over 75 years old, matured with just 10% new oak. Lucid silvery in hue, the 2020 offers an exquisite bouquet laced with mineral-infused yellow fruit. It is almost Puligny in style, eliciting so much vibrancy and energy that it seems to be run off the mainline electricity. It’s amazingly well-focused. That is translated onto the palate, which has marvelous tension, with notes of linseed oil, yellow plums and orange pith. There is real depth and persistency in the mouth, a very subtle and unobtrusive reduction, plus a leesy finish that, thankfully, only gradually tapers away. It is a fantastic Meursault that will give 20, perhaps 30 years of drinking pleasure. Neal Martin5th February 2024
