J.
Bouchon - Mingre Winery Lodge
Chilean Tradition Grafted on French Roots |
: : |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Experience
more than 100 years of Chile’s pre-eminent wine history
with a stay at the Bouchon family hacienda “Santa Maria
de Mingre Estate.” The estate was founded in 1892 when
M. Julio Bouchon S., a French immigrant from Bordeaux, purchased
370 hectares (1000+ acres) in the Maule Valley, a region known
for its unique soil and Mediterranean climate.
Visits
to J. Bouchon are arranged exclusively through Santiago Adventures
and are an intimate experience with the winery owners. During
your stay you will be treated to the best of Chilean hospitality
and explore the traditions of the Chilean "campo."
A visit to their Mingre estate is like going back to colonial
times to a real Chilean farm where traditions are still kept,
Chilean "Huasos" (cowboys) are seen on horseback and
nature surrounds you.
While our
unique two day program makes for a great escape from Santiago,
visits to J. Bouchon are usually combined with visits to the
Colchagua Valley for a more in-depth exploration of Chilean
wine country.

Bouchon
vines, with an average age of 60 years, produce wines deep in
color and rich, fruity flavors. Reserve wines mature in French
oak for 3-12 months. Consulting winemaker Patrick Valette has
worked with J. Bouchon over the past several years creating internationally
acclaimed wines. |
