Andre Bonhomme Les Pretres de Quintaine

André Bonhomme Les Prêtres de Quintaine 2021 opens with refined aromas of lemon oil, white peach, and ripe pear, lifted by acacia blossom and a cool, limestone‑driven minerality that reflects this historic, biodynamically farmed Clessé site. The palate is precise yet quietly powerful, combining vibrant citrus and orchard‑fruit purity with supple, old‑vine concentration that lends depth and gentle amplitude. Subtle notes of almond, wet stone, and discreet lees‑derived creaminess add nuance while preserving the wine’s linear, mineral‑focused core. The finish is long, saline, and beautifully poised, showcasing a Clessé of remarkable clarity, finesse, and understated intensity—one of the domaine’s most expressive and terroir‑transparent bottlings.
