Iconic winemaker Patrick Bouju is the man behind Domaine La Bohème. He went to school for Chemistry and there he discovered that he had a sulfur intolerance that made many wines undrinkable. Years later he moved to Beaune to study viticulture, and moved to the Auvergne region to cultivate a small handful of vines, releasing his first commercial vintage as Domaine La Bohème in 2002.
One of Patrick & Justine's collabrative négociant cuvées, made using grapes bought in from outside of their own Domaine La Bohème. This orange wine sees whole bunches (skins, stems and all) ferment in clay amphora - the method giving the wine profound texture and the combination of grapes providing swoon-inducing aromatics.
On the nose, tons of fruit such as mango, and grapefruit. On the palate, the fruit follows with apricot stone and citrus peel on the finish. Complex and elegant with bright acidity. Pair with Roasted Chicken, Fish, Risotto.
