Domaine du Bouchot - Vin Orange 2022

Grapes

Sauvignon Blanc - Organic

Tasting notes

Antoine Gouffier freed himself from the codes of the Pouilly-Fume appellation to create this atypical white wine, vinified like a red. This Sauvignon Blanc opens on an intense nose of gingerbread and toast. Intense palate with exotic notes, long finish with refreshing acidity.

Expert Rating

92 James Suckling
A compact, well-focused sauvignon blanc with aromas of cedar, yellow grapefruit and meadow flowers. Medium-bodied with bright, lemony acidity and a dry mineral element providing tension on the palate and a crisp finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Enjoy now, also as an aperitif.

Pairing suggestion: Goes perfectly with a cheese plate, spicy dishes, shellfish and pork.

More About The Winery

Since 2018, with the arrival of Antoine Gouffier, Domaine du Bouchot has brought new energy and vision to Pouilly-Fumé. After twelve years away, Antoine returned to his native land to craft wines that respect both life and terroir, reviving an appellation that had been drifting into convention.

The domaine covers just over 10 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc in Saint-Andelain, farmed with a deep commitment to sustainability: certified Organic since 2009 (the first in the appellation) and Demeter-certified Biodynamic since 2020. This long-term transformation, initiated by former owners Rachel and Pascal Kerbiquet, is now carried forward with Antoine’s precision and passion.

His philosophy emphasizes perfect ripening — with harvests later than the regional norm — to produce wines of depth, freshness, and individuality. The approach mirrors the Burgundian model, focusing on the soil-vine-exposure balance to highlight terroir.

Recognized as “Discovery of the Year 2022” by Revue du Vin de France, Domaine du Bouchot’s first vintages under Antoine have stood out in blind tastings, confirming its place among the most exciting new voices of Pouilly-Fumé.
