Pauline Broqua worked as a sommelier in Toulouse before moving to the countryside and pursuing the labor of her land and viniculture. She participated in Domaine Yoyo’s production and studied under Nicolas Carmarans before settling onto domaine des Buis. In 2018 she purchased the land from a retiring winemaker who was working the vines and soils conventionally. Pauline has converted the domain using biodynamic methods, by working manually and by using the plow instead of chemicals.
Dry, very ripe Chenin. A large and beautiful wine (dense and fluid at the same time) very aromatic on white fruit and beautiful spices. Notes of citrus fruit and white flowers. Full-bodied and mineral on the palate, with good length.
Direct press and aging in tank. Granitic Sand, lieu dit Les Buis, 40 year old vines, from 3 hectares surrounding Pauline’s house. Cuvée vinified and aged in vats.
