Domaine la Bohème (Patrick Bouju) Mol Red Gamay Syrah 2021

FRANCE : AUVERGNE : VIN DE FRANCEBIODYNAMIC : Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Carignan, Gamay, Muscat d'AlexandrieLIGHT-BODIED, DARK CHERRY, BLACKCURRANT, PEPPERY, HERBAL, NO OAKPatrick Bouju farms nine hectares of volcanic basalt in the Auvergne—dead center of France, high altitude, a region most wine drinkers have never heard of—making zero-sulfur, unfined, unfiltered reds that overperform at every price point. His own intolerance to sulfur drove him here in the first place; the result is wine that tastes nothing like a workaround.Môl is a six-variety blend, each grape vinified separately in fiberglass and steel before assembly. The Muscat d'Alexandrie—a white aromatic variety, unusual in a red blend—is deliberate: it lifts the body and threads floral aromatics through the Syrah and Grenache backbone, keeping the wine chillable and bright rather than dense. Serve it at 54–58°F.PAIRINGS : Truffade (potato and Cantal) the Auvergne regional match — herbal edge and red fruit cut through melted cheese Charcuterie board dark fruit and cedar bridge saucisson, pâté, rillettes; freshness cuts through fat Grilled merguez or lamb sausage Syrah backbone handles lamb; spice in the sausage echoes the peppery finish
