Andre Bonhomme Vire-Clesse 'Vieilles Vignes'

They’re not kidding when they say Vieilles Vignes (Old Vines)! This is produced entirely from vines that average 90-100 years of age. These low-yielding, deeply rooted, and certified organic vines give the wine tremendous concentration, intensity, and expansive aromas and flavors. Fermented with native yeasts, the wine is aged for 2 years in a mixture of stainless steel and French oak barrels, 15% which are new.

Golden-straw colored and loaded with aromas and flavors of ripe pear, pineapple, honeysuckle, nutmeg, hazelnut, and chalky minerality, this one is full and creamy on the palate. But there’s racy and focused acidity under all of that complex richness. AMAZING STUFF! Drink now in a big glass and not too cold or cellar for 10+ years.
