2019 Chateau Bouillerot, Fruit D'Automne, Bordeaux, France
$19.99
Situated on the hills overlooking the valley of the Garonne river, Château Bouillerot’s history stretches back all the way to 1874. Currently in the hands of Thierry Bos, the domaine has remained family owned for three generations. Originally a pharmacist by trade, Thierry chose to return to vines of his childhood after the passing of his father and he took over this 8 hectare estate in 1989. While the Entre-deux-Mers region where Château Bouillerot is situated has historically been a high yielding area, Thierry remains committed to focusing on quality farming and a more hands-off approach in the cellar. The domaine has been certified organic (AB) since 2013
