Henri Chauvet has taken over the estate of Annie Sauvat in Boudes, an important winegrowing village in the Auvergne that is near to the heart of the region itself, located within what’s known as the Puy-de-Dome. Clocking in at 10.5 hectares, the land was planted to vine from scratch in the 1970s by Claude Sauvat and ever since had become a kind of hallmark of viticultural endeavor, engaged in the same kind of recuperation of history that many natural winemakers seek; Auvergne (and indeed Boudes) was a long flourishing winegrowing region from time (Roman) immemorial until the phylloxera blight of the late 19th century.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
