WINEMAKING

Veronique Raskin's family started growing grapes in the south of France in the late 1700's. Grapes led to wine, and their 50 acre family estate, Chateau Bousquette, in the South of France, became a working winery soon thereafter. Still, it wasn't until 1993 that Veronique's brother and Bousquette's winemaker, decided to bottle a wine in honor of Veronique's pioneering efforts to promote organically grown wine in the United States.

"Bousquette" (pronounced boo-sket) in French means thicket or grove. The word aptly describes the property: a simple family estate nestled in pine trees, lavender and thyme, overlooking miles of vineyards stretching all the way to the foot of the volcanic mountains, the Cevennes. The vineyards are moderated by the cooling breezes from the sea, giving the grapes a long, even growing season.

These wines represent the true life, sweat, blood and spirit of our founder: Veronique Raskin, a true trailblazer for the organic movement. Having grown up playing in her family's property and vineyard, Chateau Bousquette, Veronique was inculcated into the culture of wine since she was a young girl.

Later, her grandfather Pierre Fabre would switch the family vineyard's to 100% organic practices and ultimately pass the gauntlet on to Veronique, who began The Organic Wine Company by importing these very wines into the United States some three decades ago. Not only are these wines certified organically grown and wonderful but they have the character of a family history and pride behind them.

Note: The Chateau Bousquette Tradition is typical of French wines in that it needs to breathe and will open up well in about 30 to 45 minutes. Decant before serving at least 30 minutes before enjoying for the fullest expression of the subtle flavors.
