Patrick Bouju

Patrick Bouju makes wines that are as wild and vibrant as the volcanic soils they come from. Based in Auvergne, France, he works with rare local grape varieties and old vines, farming organically and vinifying with zero additives. His wines are alive — juicy, funky, unpredictable — and always full of character. Bouju doesn’t chase perfection; he lets nature guide the process. Whether it’s a light red or a deep, cloudy orange, each bottle feels like a personal expression of place, season, and instinct.
