Patrick and Christophe Bonnefond are the two brothers behind the Domaine Bonnefond as we know it today, joined since 2019 by Léa, Christophe’s daughter. Starting from their father’s mixed-farming estate, with just 2.5 hectares of vines whose grapes were sold to the local cooperative, the Bonnefond brothers completely redefined the value of their Côte-Rôtie terroir, pulling out fruit trees to plant vines. Of course, they kept the estate’s oldest parcels, planted in 1947 by their grandfather and now forming the backbone of the Les Rochins cuvée. Domaine Bonnefond today covers close to 11 hectares, and Patrick, Christophe and Léa have reached what they consider the ideal and maximum size for the estate, allowing them to maintain quality by controlling every step of the process. Careful soil work, meticulous, clean viticulture… the proof is in the glass: the Bonnefond family produces refined wines with serious ageing potential, yet already beautifully drinkable in their youth.

Powerful and complex nose with notes of apricot, pineapple, honey, frangipane, subtle vanilla, and a delicate hint of oak. The palate lives up to the nose, powerful, spherical, slightly oxidative, with well-integrated oak and a very long finish. Pair it with a nice piece of meat in sauce.

A more immediate and accessible Côte-Rôtie from Bonnefond, with the same aromatic complexity: blueberry, peony, black olive, undergrowth, vanilla... The palate is in harmony with the nose, with concentrated aromatics, perfectly balanced by silky tannins. Delicious.

Entirely produced by Léa Bonnefond, nose of black fruits, led by blackcurrant, violet, pepper, and coffee, with an almost “bacon fat”. It is complex and you could stay immersed in it forever! Elegant and smooth on the palate, with mellow tannins, this is a deep wine without any heaviness.

With notes of peach, honey, lychee, white flowers, fresh and dried apricot, it is complex, evolving, and very accomplished, offering almost unbeatable value for money! Lively on the palate with beautiful volume, the richness is balanced by subtle, noble bitter notes on the finish.
