Domaine la Boheme Collection by Patrick Bouju Bundle
Featuring 5 exceptional natural wines from Auvergne’s volcanic terroir, this exclusive collection lets you explore the full spectrum of Patrick Bouju and Justine Loiseau’s natural winemaking genius.
What's inside:
P VDF Red 2023 - A vibrant natural red bursting with bright cherry, tart berries, and saffron, balanced by nutty aromatics and a mineral-driven, spicy finish.
Lulu 2023 - Organic Gamay undergoes a 150-day maceration and spontaneous fermentation in anfora, followed by 12 months in neutral oak. Complex notes of red currant, blackberry, and raspberry with a hint of smoke and a smooth, juicy tannic finish.
Festejar! Rosé - Sparkling rosé with ripe berry fruit flavors, creamy notes, light acidity and refreshing lemony finish.
"Festejar!" VDF Pét-Nat Blanc - A lively pét-nat blanc built around freshness and easy drinkability, blending four Jura-grown varieties into a bright, naturally sparkling white. Bottled under crown cap to finish fermentation in bottle, the wine keeps things light and energetic, with gentle bubbles and a clean, dry profile.
"Môl" VDF Rouge - A free-form red from Domaine la Bohème, blending multiple varieties into a loose, expressive Vin de France. Fruit is sourced from different sites and fermented naturally, letting each grape bring its own shape and energy to the mix.
Patrick and Justine cultivate 8 hectares of extraordinary vines in Saint-Georges-sur-Allier, including some pre-phylloxera survivors, plus 1.6 hectares in South Beaujolais.
Their zero-compromise approach, minimal intervention, zero sulfites, and pure expressions of place results in wines with incredible energy and authenticity.
These bottles consistently sell out quickly due to high demand from collectors and enthusiasts alike!

About Natural Wine
Great question! There are a lot of definitions for natural wine with the main term you'll hear being that it has had minimal intervention. To be more specific, our definition is that the wine must first be sustainably farmed, which typically means it was organically or biodynamically farmed.
Then, in the cellar the natural winemaking process has some differences as well! The wine is typically unfined, unfiltered, and goes through spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. If you want to know more about what natural wine is, we have an entire guide under our reference section!
The short answer is that natural wine can taste like any other kind of conventional wine (we like to call these stealth natural wines) or it can taste quite a bit different, as production methods can vary and potentially be lighter, or in a style you've never had before (like orange, pet-nat or amphora).
The natural wine community is also more accepting of some qualities in wines that conventional would consider a flaw, like Brett, some oxidation, or volatile acidity. We would consider these in high amounts to also be a flaw, but in many cases a touch of these qualities can ultimately improve their flavor and texture and be happily accepted in a natural wine.

The short answer is, no! But many are. Glou-glou describes winesthat are easily chuggable, impossible to put the glass down, and seductively delicious! They tend to be young and fresh, designed to be drunk early with an average ABV of around 10%. Check out different styles or glou glou natural wine here on our site.
