{"product_id":"henri-chauvet-cabriole-2025","title":"Cabriole","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePure Pinot Noir from a vineyard just outside Boudes, made with a mix of direct pressing and whole-cluster fermentation, then raised entirely in amphora. No heavy-handed extraction or oak to get in the way here: just a fresh, nimble expression of Pinot with bright fruit and plenty of drinkability. Another side of Auvergne from Henri Chauvet, and a reminder that this corner of France has plenty left to say.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHenri Chauvet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the spring of 2021, Henri Chauvet settled in the village of Boudes in Auvergne purchasing 10.5 hectares of vines from a local winemaker. 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":55787556667683,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/4226\/8358\/files\/607AD73F-AF0A-4772-A87A-8E9A1634F87E.jpg?v=1792197389","url":"https:\/\/terroirizer.wine\/products\/henri-chauvet-cabriole-2025","provider":"Terroirizer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
