Fun fact: This wine by Auvergne legend Patrick Bouju is in Vivino’s Top 1% in the entire world. And you know what? We totally get it. It’s got an untamed energy right when you open it: an aromatic bomb ready to explode with lots of bright acidity and lots of tropical fruit and floral notes, all grounded by subtle tannins reminiscent of black tea. This wine will shine wherever and whenever, whether it’s at the beach, after a long day, or at a fancy dinner.

Patrick Bouju
No natural winemaker embodies “untamed” the way Auvergne’s Patrick Bouju does. Once a sulphur-intolerant chemistry student and now a regional icon, his 9 hectares of ancient, low-yield, chemical-free vines are still managed largely by hand and no small amount of elbow grease. Only a few bottles, mostly precisely-made blends, make it out of his winery every year—but each is as wild and free as their maker!
a closer look
Behind the Bottle
Nestled in the basaltic soils of extinct volcanos, Patrick and Justine Bouju’s Auvergne plots are home to vines as old as 120 years old—mostly of native, low-yield varieties like Gamay andLimberger, supplemented by grapes they buy from regions like Alsace and Beaujolais. The land is worked almost entirely by hand, with each plot vinified separately. Long extraction times, no sulfur, pure expression, experimental spirit: these are distinctively Boujou!
