Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Pungent aromas of red currant, cassis, tobacco, dried herbs and oak. The spice comes out on the palate with lots of acidity and focus. It is juicy and finishes with smooth tannins. A good match for grilled red meats such as a flank steak.

Varietal Composition: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Carmenere, 10% Merlot

Professional Ratings

    Saturated ruby. Fresh plum, cherry, pipe tobacco and mint on the nose, with a subtle undertone of sweet oak. Then juicy and smooth in the mouth, with good lift and cut to the flavors of black raspberry and cherry-cola. A jolt of rhubarb adds refreshing bitterness to the finish, which is framed by supple, slow-building tannins.

J. Bouchon's history goes back to 1892 when Emile Bouchon, a native of Bordeaux arrived in Chile and settled down in the Maule Valley, south of Santiago. Now under the ownership of Bordeaux trained enologist Julio Bouchon, J. Bouchon's holdings include 60 year old vines.

Minimal irrigation and hand harvested berry selection translates into high quality and deep color and flavors.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Maule is the Central Valley’s most southern and coolest zone, reaching a southern latitude of 35°S, yet it is still warmer and drier than Bío-Bío to its south. The Maule Valley enjoys success with a unique set of grapes.

It lays claim to the local variety, Pais (synonymous with Tinta Pais, which is actually Tempranillo), which has dominated much of the region’s area under vine until the recent past. Now many growers, not confined by the tradition and regulations of the Old World, also successfully grow Cabernet Sauvignon.

While Maule’s total area under vine remains relatively static, its old Carignan vineyards are undergoing a great revival. The VIGNO (Vignadores del Carignan Vintners) group, an association in charge of promoting this long-forgotten variety, is getting fantastic results from the old vines in its dry-farmed coastal zones.

The Maule includes the subregions of Talca, San Clemente, San Javier, Parral, Linares and Cauquenes.
