Henri, a relatively new arrival to the world of wine, had spent a few years working with winemakers predominantly in the Rhône valley and, most notably, Thierry Allemand in Cornas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat he found in Auvergne was compelling: a region of overlooked soils and long slopes, where Gamay, Pinot Noir, and a bit of Chardonnay still cling to hillsides shaped by volcanos, marl, clay, iron-rich quartz, basaltic outcrops and red earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHenri bought the estate knowing he couldn’t just follow convention: he wanted to understand these soils, let them speak. From the moment he arrived, he began converting the vineyards toward organic farming, leaning on gentle cellar work — native yeasts, minimal intervention — to coax out the character of each plot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach parcel is tended with care — on steep slopes where mechanization would destroy more than help — sometimes worked with horses, always with hands and back. Henri treats each sub-block separately: different soils, different exposures, different vines — all contributing to wines that feel distinctly rooted in the varied terroir of Boudes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite starting in 2021, his wines have drawn attention quickly — a sign that a fresh gaze on a nearly forgotten terroir, when handled with care and seriousness, can produce something urgent and beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henri Chauvet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55787584946467,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/4226\/8358\/files\/BDEF3840-2471-476C-8AB1-9665D3CC1D02.jpg?v=1792197389","url":"https:\/\/terroirizer.wine\/products\/henri-chauvet-a-fleur-de-peau-2022","provider":"Terroirizer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
