2023 Domaine Bernard Bonin Meursault Village Clos du Cromin

Domaine Bernard Bonin

Nicolas Bernard and Veronique Bonin operate with a meticulous, low intervention philosophy that has firmly established them at the absolute pinnacle of white Burgundy. Based in Meursault, they are deeply committed to biodynamic principles, tracking the lunar calendar to govern their work in both the vineyard and the cellar. The Bonin style is defined by early harvesting to capture immense tension, native yeast fermentations, and extended aging on the lees without racking until just before bottling. Avoiding fining, filtration, and excessive sulfur, their wines are celebrated for being simultaneously rich, vibrant, and fiercely mineral, making them some of the most sought after allocations for collectors of elite white Burgundy.

Bernard Bonin Meursault Village Clos du Cromin 2023

The 2023 Clos du Cromin is a masterclass in tension and texture. Sourced from a renowned lieu dit in Meursault that sits on a former stone quarry, the Bonin parcel occupies the upper slope where the topsoil is thinnest, forcing the vines deep into the limestone bedrock. This specific terroir perfectly counterbalances the generous sunshine of the 2023 vintage, yielding a Chardonnay of profound concentration that remains anchored by a vibrant, electric core of acidity. It offers a pristine balance between the classic buttery richness of Meursault and the razor sharp precision that defines the Bernard Bonin signature.
