AI ResearchedThe Domaine André Bonhomme Mâcon-Villages Vieilles Vignes 2023 is a pure Chardonnay sourced from three organically farmed vineyard sites above the villages of Viré and Clessé, with vines over 60 years old. The 2023 vintage is considered a highly-rated year for White Burgundy, and this bottling is widely regarded as one of the finest Mâcon-Villages expressions available, lauded for its natural concentration, zesty acidity, and exceptional aging potential for the appellation.
Domaine André Bonhomme
Founded in 1956 by André Bonhomme in Viré, Saône-et-Loire, the domaine is one of Southern Burgundy's most respected estates — a pioneer of estate bottling, organic viticulture, and co-initiator of the Viré-Clessé AOC. It is now run by André's grandson, qualified oenologist Aurélien Palthey.
Blend
100% Chardonnay
Tasting Profile
Offers aromas of golden apple, pear, stone fruit, honey, almond blossom, and wild fennel; on the palate it is juicy, full-bodied, and creamy with lively acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish.
Region
Mâcon-Villages is an appellation in the Mâconnais, the southernmost sub-region of Burgundy, planted predominantly with Chardonnay on clay-limestone soils. It produces some of Burgundy's most approachable and value-driven white wines, though top domaines like Bonhomme prove it can rival far more prestigious appellations.
