Let’s address the elephant in the room: Sein Pour Sein, literally “breast for breast,” is a play off the Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule terroir that Auvergne visionary Patrick Bouju brings to life in this bottle of 100% Pinot Noir. Partially aged in barrels and partially in fiberglass, this packs more of a punch than the usual lightness we expect. With plenty of fruity and savory notes accompanying the power, vibrant acidity, and luxurious tannins that make it a great wine for food.

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!
