Prunier Bonheur

New to our list with the 2022 vintage are the delightful wines of Pascal Prunier Bonheur. Situated in Meursault, though farming vines in St Romaine, Auxey-Duresses, and Monthelie, as well as a small amount of Meursault, Pascal is the 5th generation Prunier to run the domaine. Pascal’s approach involves studiously hands off winemaking with studiously hands on farming; indeed the hands say it all – stained and ingrained with the soils that he works. Old vines are a feature of this 8ha domaine, and it is these, given careful husbandry, which allows Pascal’s wines to so regularly punch so far above their appellations. White wine making involves a light crushing prior to a firm pressing, a short debourbage and a lot of lees going to barrel. Reds are predominantly destemmed, with just 10-30% whole bunch for certain cuvees – – so better to allow the terroir to shine. The results are beautifully unadulterated Burgundies that are both characterful yet also precise, speaking clearly of their sites and the wisdom of old vines.
