Product Description
Bouchaine Vineyards is a family-owned winery located in the Carneros region of Napa Valley, California. Founded in 1981 by Gerard and Christine Bouchaine, the winery has a long history of producing high-quality wines from a variety of grape varieties.
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Carneros region, Bouchaine’s vineyards cover over 100 acres and are planted with a mix of grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. The grapes are grown using sustainable farming practices, including cover cropping, composting, and minimal use of pesticides and herbicides. These practices help to preserve the natural ecosystem and produce grapes of the highest quality.
In the winemaking process, Bouchaine combines traditional techniques with modern technology to create expressive and balanced wines. The winery uses small fermenters and gentle handling to preserve the delicate flavors and aromas of the grapes. The wines are aged in oak barrels to add depth and complexity, and are bottled without fining or filtration to retain their natural character.
