100% Sauvignon from 45-year-old vines farmed biodynamically and planted on a small plot of Portland limestone soil. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified naturally, with 6 months of maceration in barrels that have seen several wines, gentle pressing, then 6 months of maturation in the same barrels. Bottled at the estate in October 2022 after a light filtration, with just a microdose of sulphur to protect the wine, for a total SO2 of 35 mg/l.

From the “normal white” color in the glass, you might not guess that this was an orange wine, but once you start on it you’ll get it. Concentrated bead of red-peach and spicy flavors and plenty of drive though the medium-bodied palate. Structured and slightly tannic, as befits the category.

2018 marks the arrival of Antoine Gouffier, young winemaker and child of the village, who takes over from the Kerbiquet family with great energy. By going around the world, this backpacker decided, like Ulysses, to return home. After 12 years between New York, California, Argentina, Africa and the Middle East, between trade, commerce and catering, he still had to settle in an area. His young wife helped him there. Soon she will be part of the affair. With Pascal Kerbiquet, his mentor, prophet of Bio and Pygmalion of biodynamics, he found his haven in Bouchot: the semi-solitude of the craftsman for a fan of discoveries...
