The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A new muse of the Loire Valley, hailed by the RVF, the Domaine du Bouchot is the estate to watch. At VALAP, we did not wait for the media recognition to discover it and offer you its pure, slender and accessible wines!

Antoine Gouffier's total commitment has indeed seduced us for some time now so naturally we couldn’t wait to establish a relationship of trust with this young and distinguished winemaker. On this prized terroir of the Loire Valley, the estate produces great white wines that will delight wine lovers everywhere.

Biodynamic agriculture (certified since 2020), harvesting at full maturity, indigenous yeasts, minimal sulfur, maturation without the use of wood: this estate distinguishes itself with its perfect wines which are light years away from the caricatures of light and insipid Sauvignons...They regularly rank among the favorite wines of our Selection Committee
Wine The 2020 white Pouilly-Fumé Terres Blanches is a model of Sauvignon, harvested at full maturity. The authenticity of the grape variety emerges through fine citrus and pink grapefruit notes, coupled with a beautiful freshness. The palate follows the same delicate and refined register, with a frank energy, a dense and concentrated texture and a delightful chalky sensation on the finish. A superb white wine to pair with curried mussels or sautéed prawns with ginger and coriander.
Vinification Hand harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in stainless steel tanks.

Organic and Biodynamic wine, certified.
