Story
Pierre-Olivier Bonhomme
Touraine · Loire · France
Pierre-Olivier Bonhomme began his journey in the world of wine as a simple grape harvester at Clos du Tue-Boeuf, the estate of Thierry Puzelat, in 2004. After the harvest that year, Pierre-Olivier remained at the estate, working with Puzelat while pursuing his degree at the Lycée Viticole d'Amboise, which he completed in 2008. In 2009, he joined Puzelat to help expand his négociant business, and together they founded Puzelat-Bonhomme.
“The partnership was an immediate success.”
Four years later, Pierre-Olivier was managing the business independently and had acquired seven hectares of his own in the communes of Monthou-sur-Bièvre, Cellettes, and Valaire. His vineyards include Sauvignon, Gamay, Chenin, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Romorantin, and Côt, all of which he vinifies exceptionally well, producing vibrant, generous wines that reflect his own joyful and passionate spirit.
