Domaine Bernard Bonin Meursault Premier Cru Genevrieres 2016 AOC 0.75l

Meursault Premier Cru Genevrieres 2016 AOC 0.75l from Domaine Bernard Bonin is a bottle that showcases the terroir of the Côte de Beaune, offering a highly refined white wine capable of accompanying gourmet events built on delicacy, structure, and sensory content. The history of Domaine Bernard Bonin stems from the decision of a family of winemakers who chose Meursault as the beating heart of their identity, cultivating vineyards with unwavering respect for the soil and long-term planning. The winery has developed with an approach that combines tradition and modernity, with a cellar designed to guide winemaking with precision and control, without sacrificing a sense of artisanal craftsmanship. The production philosophy is based on a balance between fruit purity, aromatic complexity, and aging potential: rigorously targeted harvesting, careful fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and carefully selected ageing processes that impart a creamy yet clean texture on the palate, thanks in part to gentle oxygenation that enhances the soil's minerality. Genevrieres, a Premier Cru, is distinguished by a limestone-clay terroir with a deep geological history, resulting in a savory presence and a tension that supports the wine's rich elegance. The wine exudes maturity without being overbearing: notes of citrus zest, toasted almond, melted butter, and a hint of ginger emerge on the nose, while on the palate, a fine cream develops, a painting of ripe citrus, a fullness balanced by a mineral thrust and a lingering sensation of biscuit and sea salt that lengthens the finish. Within the producer's range, this Meursault Premier Cru Genevrieres occupies a prominent position for its ability to age in the bottle while maintaining an attractive freshness. It is often recommended as a reference for those seeking a structured yet understated white wine, capable of pairing with flavorful fish dishes, refined shellfish, or aged cheeses. In this context, the 2016 vintage presents itself as an authentic expression of terroir, artisanal know-how, and a care that STELT intends to recognize as the hallmark of a range designed to last.
