Domaine de la Bouissière - Friends of La Bouissière 2023
Domaine de la Bouïssière is located in Gigondas, in the southern Rhône Valley . The estate was founded in the late 1950s by Antonin Faravel, who had been working at the neighboring Domaine Pierre Amadieu since the age of 14, and who decided to plant vines on the land inherited from his father. The vines were located at La Grande Bouïssière, at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail. Originally, the harvests were sold to Domaine Pierre Amadieu. In 1978, Domaine de la Bouïssière began producing its own wine, with three vats and an old press. Today, the estate is managed by siblings Gilles, Thierry and Josiane . They produce wines in three appellations: Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Beaumes-de-Venise. They implement organic farming, without certification .
Les Amis de la Bouïssière 2023 is a blend of Syrah (60%) and Grenache (40%) . The vines are 26 years old. The harvest is hand-picked and completely destemmed. Fermentation lasts 20 days with daily pumping over. The wine is aged in concrete vats.
Grape varieties: 60% Syrah, 40% Grenache
