We are pleased to introduce the wines of polycultural farmer and natural vigneron from Gard, Thomas Bouet to the states. Thomas and his wines come from Sanilhac, just a 20-minute drive South of Uzès, where Thomas’s family roots date back to the 17th century. In 2018 he took over the family land and now operates on 5ha of vines (plus an additional 3ha that he tends to collaboratively with Ad Vinum’s Sébastien Chatillon) and a tiny cellar on his family’s farmhouse property. Here he also produces olive oil, sunflower oil, peach nectar, apple juice, grape juice, strawberries, almonds and einkorn. Thomas has been making natural wine since 2016 using organic grapes he bought on the vine, but 2019 was his first official commercial vintage. With all of his cuvées he practices manual harvesting, indigenous yeasts, no sulphite addition or targeted sulphiting, and uses an old vertical hydraulic press.
