Frequently Asked Questions

What is the story behind the Virgen line from Domaine Bousquet?

After a 1990 Argentinian vacation, the Bousquet family moved from Carcassonne in the South of France to Uco Valley in Argentina’s Mendoza region. Here they found an untouched yet ideal terroir for producing high-quality organic wines. For the Bousquets, this virgin land delivered the hot, sunny weather of their homeland with Argentinian twists in the form of acidic soils and high altitudes. The fruit-forward, full-bodied wines this land produces have led to great success for the family. Domaine Bousquet’s Virgen line is USDA-Certified organic, vegan, and no-sulfites-added, making it the purest expression of the Argentinian environment that produces their grapes. Today, the Bousquets are fourth-generation winemakers and are regarded as Argentina’s leading vineyard for organic wines.
