Domaine Bousquet Winery

What Domaine Bousquet Winery does

Domaine Bousquet Winery is a family-owned organic wine producer headquartered in Gualtallary, Tupungato, Mendoza, Argentina. Founded in 1997 by third-generation French winemaker Jean Bousquet following his discovery of the high-altitude Gualtallary Valley in 1990, the company cultivates approximately 600 ares (roughly 15 acres) of vineyards at 4,000-5,250 feet above sea level in the Andes foothills of Uco Valley. The winery's production is anchored in organic and regenerative viticulture practices from inception, including composting, minimum tillage, and vegetative cover, with biodynamic certification (Demeter) for the Gaia line, Regenerative Organic Alliance certification awarded in 2023, USDA Organic, Fair for Life, and Ecocert compliance, and dual USDA-organic and kosher (Mevushal) certification for the Alavida line. Water consumption has been reduced 80% since 2010 through drip irrigation and process-water reuse.

The portfolio spans entry-level through premium tiers, organized into lines including Gran (entry), Reserve, Premium, Sparkling (Charmat and Traditional methods), single-vineyard Ameri and Ameri Wild Roots, biodynamic Gaia, sulfite-free Virgen, kosher Alavida, French-heritage Finca Lalande, Huarpe-inspired Hunuc, alternative-format Natural Origins (bag-in-box), and specialty Black Rock. Production capacity is approximately 300,000 cases annually, positioning Domaine Bousquet as Argentina's largest exporter of certified organic wines, distributed across 30+ countries including the US, UK, Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining B2B distribution with direct-to-consumer channels. Wholesale distribution runs through a global network of importers, with US routing handled by Origins Organic Imports, a Miami-based importer co-owned by Labid al Ameri and Anne Bousquet serving retailers and restaurants across 16 US states. The company maintains retail relationships with chains such as Waitrose in the UK, multiple US wine retailers, Vintageroots and The World of Organic online, and Santa Luiza in Brazil. Direct-to-consumer sales occur through the Argentina online store (tienda.domainebousquet.com) and on-premise via the Gaia Experience restaurant, lodge accommodations, and tastings at the estate. Pricing is unit-based and varies by line and market, ranging from approximately $11 for entry-level sparklings and Cameleon Malbec to $19-$20 for Alavida and Reserve tiers, with promotional offerings at major retailers such as Waitrose's 'Fine Wines at £10' campaign for Gaia Malbec. The leadership team is Anne Bousquet (Co-owner and President), Labid al Ameri (Co-founder, also principal of US distribution), Franco Bastias (Chief Agronomist), Rodrigo Serrano (Winemaker), with advisory engagement from Master of Wine Madeleine Stenwreth.
