People
JULIO BOUCHON
The adage couldn’t be truer – winemaking is in Julio Bouchon’s blood. He was born in the winery and his fondest memories are talking about wines with his grandfather and father at the kitchen table. Julio is a journalist by trade but his passion for wine was nurtured and inspired by his father, Julio Bouchon Sr. (pictured above, left).
Julio loves winemaking because it pulls together passion and patience. “Wine needs time. You cannot make it from one day to the other.” With his father and consulting winemaker Patrick Valette, his goal is to produce fresh wines that speak of the terroir of their vineyards. Julio oversees all marketing and communications for J. Bouchon.
