André Bonhomme was among the winemakers who pushed for the upgrade from Mâcon-Viré to the more specific Viré-Clessé appellation in the 1990s — a signal of how seriously the family takes the terroir here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe domaine has been in the Bonhomme family since 1956 and now runs four generations deep: daughter Jacqueline, her husband Eric, and their sons Aurélien and Johan. Eleven hectares of clay and limestone in Viré and Clessé. No herbicides, no pesticides, hand-harvested at low yields, fermented with indigenous yeasts in a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak, then full malolactic fermentation for texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eSeared scallops with saffron cream\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003emineral backbone cuts through the richness; stone-fruit notes echo the sauce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eRoasted chicken with tarragon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eclassic Burgundy pairing — MLF texture works with herb cream\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eGrilled halibut with lemon butter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebright acidity and citrus amplify delicate white fish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sussex Wine Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40946619580575,"sku":"6681","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0232\/3203\/products\/IMG_1526.jpg?v=1676498209","url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/domaine-andre-bonhomme-vire-clesse","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
