Notes on the Winemaker: Alice Bouvot has developed a big cult following since starting her domaine in 2004. She produces many cuvées, some with grapes purchased from organic growers (these bottles have the striking gnome labels) and the rest from her own vines. Her wines are unique and invigorating to say the least and should be experienced by any natural wine fan.
