Domaine Bousquet's old vineyards are located at an altitude of 1200 meters. The climate here is perfect for powerful red wines. The vines receive plenty of sunshine during the hot summers, but also a tremendous amount of coolness from the winds that blow across the Andes. But that's not the only coolness the vineyards receive, as the difference between day and night temperatures is enormous, sometimes reaching up to twenty degrees.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Completely hand-harvested for this Domaine Bousquet Malbec\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOnce the Malbec grapes have reached their ideal ripeness, they are harvested entirely by hand. This only happens in the early morning, before sunrise. This early harvest minimizes the risk of bruising during transport, and they are shipped in small crates to the Domaine Bousquet winery. The wines are made with French suppleness. A notable feature is that the wines are aged without oak. This is done to preserve the fruity explosion in the Malbec and because the juice is already exceptionally rich. A wine to savor, where you can taste the beautiful, full flavors of the Malbec grape.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does Domaine Bousquet Malbec taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOnce in the glass, the beautiful color reveals itself.

The finish also reveals hints of chocolate and a touch of cinnamon. This wine boasts excellent structure and length without losing its freshness and smoothness. On the palate, you'll taste blackcurrant, plum, and a hint of chocolate with a soft, supple finish. This smooth finish makes this Malbec a delicious everyday wine, but also pairs well with meat dishes.","brand":"Wijntransport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775763648591,"sku":"6180","price":9.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/domaine-bousquet-malbec_6180.webp?v=1770046484"},{"product_id":"domaine-bousquet-chardonnay","title":"Domaine Bousquet Chardonnay","description":"What a treat this white Chardonnay from Domaine Bousquet in Argentina is!

This makes the climate perfect for growing the grapes as organic grapes, as is clearly stated on the label. The warm summers with abundant sunshine ensure that the Chardonnay grapes ripen evenly. Their deep roots easily absorb moisture from the rich soil structure, which is crucial for an optimal harvest. But that's not the only thing the Chardonnay grape appreciates. Coolness is also a key factor at Domaine Bousquet.

Once pressed, the golden-yellow juice flows into the cellar, where this wine continues to age for several months. Because Domaine Bousquet aims for a Chardonnay where the grape takes center stage, they do not use oak barrels for this wine.
