DESCRIPTION
Bouchon Family Wines Viejo País 2025 comes from old, centenarian vines located in Mingre and Huerta de Maule, on sandy-loam granitic soils rich in quartz. Cultivated on secanos interiores (unirrigated land), this País is vinified in old concrete tanks with indigenous yeasts, without inputs, and without clarification or filtration. Hand-harvesting in small crates in early April guarantees a precise fruit quality. A light, authentic, and digestible wine, ideal for modern dining or as a refreshing vin de soif. The Bouchon saga began in 1887 with the arrival of Émile Bouchon in Chile. The family, established in the Colchagua region and later in the Maule region in 1977, perpetuates this history by breathing new life into old Maule grape varieties, such as País, rehabilitating centuries-old winemaking techniques, and paying close attention to the terroir. With three vineyards in Maule, the Bouchons adopt an organic approach, creating singular wines from vines grown without irrigation on ancient granitic soils.
On the nose, a precise profile of fresh strawberry and sour cherry, enhanced by a nuance of dry herbs and a discreet minerality. On the palate, juicy and lively, with a light structure, supple tannins, and a fresh, fruity finish. It pairs well with grilled fish or fish in a light sauce, and appetizers with fine charcuterie or tapas. Serve between 12 and 14°C. Aging potential of 3 years.
