Reviews & Notes
Rick Watkins
"Made from the somewhat unknown grape Pais. Freshly crushed strawberry aromas float out of the glass, followed by a hint of rose petals. A great change of pace from the Gamay grape. Try it chilled down for a 1/2 hour in the fridge."
Gary Hewitt
"This wine is about tasting history. Pais is the Spanish-Conquistador grape of S America--it's been there since the 1500s! J Bouchon takes the fruit of venerable old vines to gently create a fresh, gulp-able, refreshing, light red wine with savoury and smokey undertones. Serve slightly chilled to accentuate the fresh fruit. Excellent--leading edge Chilean wine. (2017 tasted 13 May 2019)"
