Discover Pierre-Olivier Bonhomme’s Telquel Red Blend: A Dynamic French Table Wine

Crafted by master winemaker Pierre-Olivier Bonhomme, this 2023 Telquel Red Blend is a celebration of terroir and versatility. Seamlessly blending Gamay Noir (the backbone), Côt, Pineau d’Aunis, and Grolleau grapes from France’s Vallée du Cher—where silex soils impart mineral complexity—this wine embodies simplicity meets sophistication. Fermented in open-top foudres and aged in neutral oak barrels for six months, it captures the essence of the vintage while staying approachable for everyday enjoyment.

Why Telquel Stands Out:
– Adaptive Craftsmanship: Pierre-Olivier sources organic grapes from local farmers and his own vines, adapting blends annually to reflect challenging vintages or sourcing from southern Beaujolais when needed.
– Gamay-Dominated Flexibility: While the blend evolves each year, Gamay’s juicy elegance remains central, ensuring a harmonious balance between fruitiness and structure.
– A Playful Concept: The name “Telquel” is a clever nod to “Teckel” (Dachshund), reimagined to mean “as is”—a reminder to savor life’s moments with uncomplicated joy.

Perfect Pairing Potential:
With 13% alcohol by volume, this wine pairs effortlessly with charcuterie boards, roasted meats, or hearty vegetarian dishes. Its vibrant acidity and smooth tannins make it ideal for casual gatherings or intimate dinners.

Telquel isn’t just a bottle; it’s a reflection of Pierre-Olivier’s dedication to organic practices and regional adaptability. Whether you’re exploring French blends or seeking a versatile table wine, Telquel offers a fresh perspective on tradition—one sip at a time.
