Dogs – all of the dogs.

Jason MacPhee's Picks

“If I could visit any of our producers/suppliers”


In 1887 Emile Bouchon boarded a ship from Bordeaux to Chile. Upon arrival in the Colchagua Valley, he was able to build one of the most prominent vineyards of the time. Emile’s Grandson Julio traveled south and fell in love with the granite soils of the Maule Valley. In 1977 he acquired Mingre Estate where the family lives and produces wine today. I met the family and enjoyed their wines. Next I would love to experience the Maule Valley.

The J.Bouchon Canto Sur is produced using select Carmenere, Carignan and País grapes from their vineyards in Maule. Intense red fruit notes of cherry on the nose. The fruit carries over on the palate and is accompanied with a savory herbaceous peppery finish.
