Domaine Rene Bouvier
For more than 20 years, working the soil while respecting biodiversity has been one of our priorities. For us, respect for microbial life, auxiliary fauna and the quality of plant material (mass selection) are the major levers of our philosophy. First of all, beautiful grapes, they are perfectly ripe grapes. Tasting the standing berries determines the best harvest date for each plot. The choice of this date is very important: it will give us 80% of the style of the wine. Our goal is to obtain perfect maturity in order to have silky and delicate tannins on the reds and to retain the freshness of the fruit on the whites to keep energy and balance. We are looking for that, to capturewhat the grape gives naturally without forcing the potential of the terroir and the vintage. To respond to this philosophy of respect for the vine, we carry out little extraction and work mainly on the infusion, so that the balance and vibration are slowly put in place, day after day during maceration.
Description
"Here too the expressive and more complex nose is quite floral in character with its aromas of ripe spiced plum and black cherry. The mouthfeel of the medium-bodied flavors is more refined with a seductive texture that contrasts noticeably with the dusty and youthfully austere finale. Note that this is sufficiently firmly structured to need 10 to 12 years to arrive at its full apogee." Burghound
Food Pairing
It will go well with a monkfish cooked in the oven on the ridge and its yellow zucchini with cumin, a roast pigeon and its truffled purée, stuffed eggplants, or a Brillat Savarin.
