The estate was born from the association of Pascal Brunier and his wife Christine Bonheur.
Pascal Prunier created the estate in 1983 in the town of Auxey-Duresses, it is now based in Meursault. This estate operates eight hectares of vines on the Côte de Beaune.These wines vinified and matured for the most part in barrels, the essence of his work is to favor the vine in order to offer us great chardonnay and pinot noir.
Pascal Prunier-Bonheur leads his vineyard in reasoned control this domain offers us 17 appellations on plots all located in Beaune Coast.
This little Bonheur bears its name wonderfully with this pretty pure and crunchy Gamay full of indulgence.
After a scientific training in biology, his winegrowing history begins with the chance of encounters, according to the internships and the various jobs he has held. Frédéric LEPRINCE knew that one day he would have a business of his own, but first he had to learn, discover, observe and do.
For about twenty years, he discovered all the facets of the profession. Vineyard work in Beaujolais vintages, the art of Bordeaux blend, purchase of grapes and vinification from great terroirs in Burgundy ... all these moments will be decisive in that each will bring their stone to their House, step by step.
Still marked by their spirit and their know-how, here are some decisive meetings of its first life.
Frédéric LEPRINCE settled for ten years in Nantoux, a small wine-growing village in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, where he had the chance to buy an old farmhouse, a heritage witness to a time not so distant 'we lived in near autarky in the heights. A barn transformed into a cellar, a cool cellar which was no doubt used to store vegetables, an old bread oven that warms the body and provides a little comfort after a hard day of harvesting ...

VOSNE ROMANEE THE BARS DOMAINE DU CONVENT 2019 75CL
Philippe CHRON.
The Domaine du Couvent presents itself as a family property led by Philippe Chéron and installed in the former convent of Gevrey-Chambertin. This 10 hectare vineyard extends over exceptional terroirs exclusively on the Côte de Nuits. Its vineyard forms a mosaic of plots mainly spread over the communes of Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny and Vougeot; but also in Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Marsannay la Côte.
Set of plots located on the climat les Barreaux for a total area of 71 ares. This climat from the top of the village overlooks the Richebourg and is framed by the first growths of Cros Parantoux, Petits Monts and Brulées. This current vineyard is the result of 15 planting campaigns from 1929 to 1977; and therefore presents a very diversified plant material with an average age of over 50 years. The planting density is 12000 vines per hectare, allowing an average yield of 40 hl/ha.
GIVRY 1ER CRU CLOS FROM THE CELLIER TO THE MONKS 2019
The Cellier aux Moines is made up of a set of historic buildings dating from 1130, a vast Cistercian cellar, a house and its outbuildings, which dominate Givry and have stood the test of time. It was the vineyard of the Monks of the Abbey of La Ferté for seven centuries, until the French Revolution. Then it was the property of the same family for two centuries, before being acquired and restored in 2004 by Philippe and Catherine PASCAL and their three children, Camille, Marguerite and Alexis.
The Domaine du Cellier aux Moines is one of the oldest wine estates in Burgundy. Established around 1130 in Givry by Cistercian monks, it is made up of a Cellar, always surrounded by its Clos de vignes for nine centuries.
The Clos du Cellier aux Moines is a Premier Cru Classé of Givry, today covering 13 hectares, as in the time of the Monks. The Domaine du Cellier aux Moines has 5 hectares, perfectly exposed in the middle and top of the hill, surrounding the historic Cellar. Enclosed above the Clos du Cellier, is another tiny 27-acre enclosure surrounded by very thick walls, forgotten since the phylloxera crisis. It was replanted in 2010 and named Clos Pascal.
In 2015, Guillaume Marko joined the field as technical manager, vines and wines. Holder of a DNO (national oenology diploma) from the University of Dijon, Guillaume did his apprenticeship in major areas of the Côte de Nuits.
Beaujolais-Villages le Trublion Alexis de Benoist 2022 75cl
Varietal: Gamay Noir
Originally from Champagne, Alexis de Benoist settled in 2010 as an artisan winemaker in the family property to reinstate the culture of the vine, interrupted for a century, and reconnect with its history. Since then, the family has regained its title of winemaker.
Today, he cultivates 9,5 hectares of vines spread over two wine regions: the Mâconnais and the Beaujolais.
The intention is to harmonize the grape variety and its terroir to obtain wines with character. Anxious to preserve the environment and the quality of his wines, Alexis de Benoist has chosen to focus his efforts on the vine, favoring traditional agriculture and farming methods linked to observation.
In this 30 to 80 year old vineyard, the harvest is done by hand. The grapes are thus harvested healthy, at maturity and remain intact on arrival at the vat room for vinification in whole bunches.
The choice of traditional vinification and aging aims to preserve the freshness of the fruit, while retaining structure, in order to produce an expressive, balanced and delicate wine for laying down.
Yield / 45 hl/ha
Harvest / Sorting the harvest in the vineyard with the pickers
Vinification / Between 5 and 10 days of maceration in vats, followed by fermentation between 24 and 28°C
Aging period / 6 months in vats

In 1155, the monks of Bèze had built at this place a chapel called Clos de Bèze because it was facing him and was therefore on the east side of the path that goes from Gevrey to Morey. A portico spanned even the path from east to west.
This chapel was dedicated to Our Lady.
Fallen into disuse in XVth century, it is rebuilt in 1547 by the vine growers. It is Philibert de Beaujeu, bishop of Bethlehem, who dedicates again the 4 July. She was shaved after the Revolution of 1789.
The locality was initially named Sous la Chapelle (the first mention date of 1457), with a High and a Low part.
The Chapel is on a slightly declining area. It is one of the most solar and early sectors of finage Grands Crus.
The situation of the plot is just below Chambertin.
The exhibition is perfect in the Levant.
Its soil is brown, stony and very shallow. At about 30 cm, there is a band of limestone rocks (called lava) which sometimes outcrop. The lavas are flat, gray limestone slabs; they were once used to cover the roofs of houses and churches. Similar roofs can still be found in Burgundy today.
A low slope ensures excellent natural drainage thanks to permeable white limestone scree that line this remarkable plot.
The low thickness of the soil and its rather warm nature lead to La Chapelle-Chambertin a portly and sensual wine, with finesse and elegance, always with great aromatic richness and exceptional density.
The average age of the vines is 60 years (the first plantations date from 1930) and planted only in fine Pinot Noir from mass selection with a planting density of 12 500 plants / ha.
The Chapelle-Chambertin appellation brings together two localities under its name, “Chapelle” proper and “Les Gémeaux”.
Less solar than upper chapel (in a slightly deeper soil), Gemini gives fleshier wines, very dense, tannins a little more formed.
Only this Domain owns these two parcels and is able today to diffuse an assembly of Gemini and Chapel.
