Behind the Cork™ - Domaine Bousquet Uco Valley Cabs
Mendoza’s Uco Valley produces more than stellar Malbec. This high-altitude locale near Argentina’s border with Chile has started to make a name for itself with some pretty impressive Cabernet.
Certified organic fruit, high-altitude terroir and a French-Argentine profile have translated into a recipe for success for Domaine Bousquet.
The estate’s naturally elegant, environmentally friendly wines are now found in 61 countries around the globe, and Domaine Bousquet is Argentina’s leading name in exports of wine made from organically grown grapes.
But there is another simple reason for Domaine Bousquet’s success: “We just want to make the finest wines possible and sell them at prices people can afford,” says co-owner Anne Bousquet.
Here are five prime examples of affordable fine wines from Domaine Bousquet:
Domaine Bousquet Reserve Organic Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 ($18)
Domaine Bousquet Alavida Kosher USDA-Certified Organic Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 ($18)
Domaine Bousquet Gaia Organic Cabernet Franc 2021 ($20)
Domaine Bousquet Gran Organic Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 ($25)
Domaine Bousquet Ameri Single Vineyard Organic Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 ($36)
