Bottled bronzed beauty.

A barely-there orange made of 100% Chenin Blanc from Loire Valley-based producer Pierre-Olivier Bonhomme. Loads of texture coupled with aromas of beeswax, orange peel, and spiced pear. Rich, fuller-bodied and a little spicy - in a good way.

Thierry Puzelat, a legend in the Loire Valley, is the OG behind Domaine Pierre-Olivier Bonhomme, founded in 1999; he had a desire to preserve the rapidly dwindling stocks of indigenous Loire varietals like Pineau d’Aunis, Menu Pineau, and Romorantin.
In 2009, Pierre-Olivier Bonhomme, a motivated teenager with a passion for wine who dropped out of high school, joined forces with Thierry Puzelat and their collaboration received its namesake.
The vines of Chenin Blanc are 25 years old and thrive in clay, flint and limestone soils from the Ormeau des Deux Croix parcel in the Loire Valley.
The vines are macerated for one month in a mixture of fiberglass and amphora.
