Andre Bonhomme Bourgogne Rouge 2021

A TINY PRODUCTION OF RED WINE FROM THIS WHITE-DOMINANT PRODUCER - BURGUNDY RARELY TASTES THIS APPROACHABLE AT THIS PRICE!

"It is a fruity and spicy Pinot noir that you can drink now or in 5/6 years. From old vines around 50 years old and more. Vinification is during 15/16 days with natural yeasts. Then, malolactic fermentation is done in old oak barrels. The wines stay one year in barrels before bottling.

The estate was founded by Andre and wife Gisèle in 1956, making it the first domaine of what is now the Vire-Clesse appellation. Back then they just had four hectares of vines which they’d inherited from Andre’s father Joseph, who grew grapes for the cooperative in the village of Vire. The wines have always been bottled at the domaine, which now extends to 12 hectares of vineyards. These have been organically farmed since 2001 and certified from vintage 2014.

Their focus is firmly on white wines (99% of production, all of it Chardonnay), built on minerality and firm acidity, making this a rare red wine addition. The vines have an average age of 55 years and the fruit is picked by hand. The whole bunches are airbag-pressed before the musts undergo long fermentations with natural yeasts." - Winery
