ANDRE BONHOMME

Domaine André Bonhomme is one of the benchmark producers of the Mâconnais region in southern Burgundy, renowned for crafting exceptional Chardonnay wines that showcase the purity and character of Viré-Clessé. Founded in the village of Viré, the family-owned estate has earned a reputation for producing elegant and expressive white Burgundy with remarkable value and ageing potential.

The domaine is now led by Jacqueline Bonhomme and her daughter Aurélie, who continue the family’s commitment to sustainable viticulture and meticulous vineyard management. The estate farms vineyards across some of the finest sites within Viré-Clessé, where limestone-rich soils and a favourable climate create ideal conditions for Chardonnay.

André Bonhomme is particularly celebrated for its Viré-Clessé wines, which display classic Burgundy elegance combined with the richness and accessibility that define the Mâconnais. The wines typically offer aromas of citrus, lemon zest, white peach, pear, acacia blossom, and subtle mineral notes. On the palate, they combine freshness, texture, concentration, and vibrant acidity, delivering outstanding balance and complexity.

The winery follows a philosophy focused on vineyard expression and minimal intervention. Careful harvesting, gentle pressing, and precise winemaking techniques preserve the natural character of the fruit while highlighting the unique terroir of each vineyard parcel. Many wines are capable of developing additional complexity with bottle age, showcasing the quality of the region.

Domaine André Bonhomme has played a significant role in establishing Viré-Clessé as one of Burgundy’s most respected white wine appellations. The estate’s wines are highly regarded by sommeliers, collectors, and wine enthusiasts seeking authentic Chardonnay with both character and value.

Today, André Bonhomme remains one of the leading names in the Mâconnais, producing refined and terroir-driven wines that exemplify the quality and potential of southern Burgundy.
