The Pais grape variety was brought to Chile by Spanish missionaries in the 16th century.
Due to its strong reproductive ability and high yield, it spread easily throughout Chile, but the recent popularity of noble varieties in overseas markets has led to a decrease in the number of fields grown.
In this situation, the brand was started with the aim of reviving the origins of Chilean wine, the traditional País grape variety.
<Bouchon Family Wines> French immigrant Emilio Bouchon settled in Chile in 1887.
He bought a vineyard in the Colchagua Valley.
In the 1970s, Emilio's grandson Julio purchased vineyards in the Maule Valley and founded the winery.
This marked the beginning of the current Bouchon Winery.
In the 21st century, business expanded along with Chilean wine's global growth.

While they continue to make wine in the way they have inherited, they are also challenging themselves with new things.
