Reviewed June 2025
Canto Sur is a whole bunch-fermented assemblage of Carmenère, 30% Carignan and 25% País from Bouchon's vineyards in Mingre. Entirely unwooded, it marries aromas of rose petal and wild thyme with a sappy, refreshing, red-fruited palate complemented by textured tannins and a mineral core.

This tri-varietal wine comes from the Mingre area, on the coastal side of the Maule Valley, about 45 kilometers in a straight line from the sea. It was fermented with 30% whole clusters and aged in cement tanks for about six months. The fruit is preserved, the floral and herbal aromas dominate, and the mouthfeel is reminiscent of carignan and its firm, sharp tannins. A delicious fruit juice for grilled skirt steak.

Notes

Bouchon Family Wines began in the late 19th century when young viticulturist Emile Bouchon left Bordeaux, France for Chile. Today, Julio Bouchon and his children carry on their 4th generation family winemaking tradition in the Maule Valley. With their in-depth soil research and innovative winemaking, Bouchon is preserving the historic character of the Maule Valley with distinctive, terroir-driven wines.J. Bouchon’s 2021 Canto Sur is made from 45% Carmenère, 30% País, 25% Carignan, all old vine and all dry farmed in the Maule Valley of Chile. The grapes were hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts in concrete tanks to preserve the vibrant, youthful red and black fruit notes.
