Tasting note
With its silky tannins and ageing in French oak, this Reserve Pinot Noir preserves the grape’s elegance, while also offering sun-kissed fruit on a rounded palate. The wine is a testament to its Argentine heritage and the French origin of the Bousquet family.
Vineyard
Our vineyards are in the Uco Valley at the foot of the Andes at 1,200m altitude. Thanks to the Uco Valley’s dry climate and phylloxera-resistant sandy soils, farming organically at Domaine Bousquet, from day one, was not only possible, but expedient. Other factors that set this landscape apart include constant breezes from the Andes to the west, helping mitigate heat stress in this desert-like climate.
Viticulture
A 4,000-plus-foot elevation and low yields ensure heightened aromas, structure, and flavor, balanced by a food-friendly fresh acidity
Vinification
Hand harvested from the end February to the beginning of March. Fermentation in contact with oak at a temperature between 15°C and 17°C for 15 days. 50% of the wine is aged for 6 months in contact with 400L French oak (2nd or 3rd use from the Gran Chardonnay) and lees.
Food Match
Ideally pairs with duck, chicken, pork and mushroom dishes. Best served at 18°C.
