"An ultra-fresh, cool and airy nose combines notes of green apple, citrus and a variety of floral scents. The palate impression of the delicious and detailed flavors is equally refreshing while delivering evident minerality on the clean and agreeably dry finish. St. Romain generally did very well in 2015 and this is just one more quality example." - Burghound

Domaine Bernard-Bonin follows time-honored winegrowing traditions, respecting the phases of the moon and employing minimal intervention in the cellar. Each wine expresses a personality derived from its terroir, its character fashioned by the climatic variances of the year. The wines are aged in oak barrels for 15-18 months, during which time each barrel is tasted individually to determine the optimum exchange between wine and sediment. The wines are racked from their lees just before bottling, in synchronization with the lunar calendar, to ensure a naturally limpid and stable state, thus avoiding fining and filtration. Once in bottle, the wines mature on the micro-sediment that develops naturally. The results carry the characteristics of the finest wines of Meursault: fresh, rich, mineral and vibrant.

2015  Savigny-les-Beaune Vieilles Vignes

"A wonderfully fresh nose combines a variety of red berry aromas with those of earth, violet and a hint of anise. The vibrant, rich and beautifully intense medium-bodied flavors possess fine mid-palate concentration as well as slightly better length on the more complex and well-balanced finale." - "Outstanding" from the Burghound

2015  Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru

"This also displays wood and menthol nuances on the spicy and attractively floral nose of plum and dark currant. The energetic middle weight flavors possess a sleek mouth feel with enough dry extract to both coat the palate and buffer the decidedly firm but not hard tannic spine shaping the balanced and impressively long finish. This is clearly built-to-age and will need at least 5 to 7 years of cellaring to resolve at least some of the structure to render the finish more pliable." - 91pts/Outstanding Burghound

2002  1er Cru

2002  Les Lavieres 1er Cru

2010  Beaune 1er

91pts/Outstanding Burghound - "Moderate reduction fights somewhat with the floral and apple aromas that complement the juicy but detailed, intense and driving middle weight flavors that possess good mid-palate concentration. There is a lovely sense of harmony and balance to the long and mouth coating finish. Despite the reduction that suppresses the nose, this is excellent."
