Sipping a chilled rosé is a refreshing way to keep cool on a warm afternoon. Rosé is also appealing for its beautiful color and its lively, fresh flavor profile that pairs well with food. As a bonus, rosé is often relatively low in alcohol. All three of the wines in this tasting, which we received as tasting samples, have these […]
One thing you may have gathered about the folks at Domaine Bousquet, from reading about them here and elsewhere, is that they never stand still. Jean Bousquet’s goal from the very beginning was to farm organically and make the best quality wines possible in Mendoza’s Uco Valley.

Describing Domaine Bousquet as Argentina’s Leading Organic Winery is a big statement, but once you learn how much the Bousquet family has achieved in the past 25-plus years you will be impressed. After you taste the wines and realize how reasonably priced they are, I think you will agree they are leaders in Argentina, if not the world. Domaine Bousquet’s […]
Sebastián Zuccardi told us his grandfather had an obsession with the desert when he first planted grape vines near the city of Mendoza. The year was 1963 and at the time he had no expertise growing grapes and no interest in making wine. He was the owner of a building company who was keen to demonstrate an efficient irrigation system.

Honestly, I have to wonder if the fine folks at Domaine Bousquet ever sleep.
