EXCLUSIVE MASTERCLASS WITH ANTOINE GOUFFIER -DOMAINE DU BOUCHOT - 14 MARCH 2024

As UKSA members we know how much you are passionate about expanding your wine knowledge and hearing from pioneers in the industry.  

So….we are delighted to announce that we are collaborating with Vins-Clairs to offer a limited amount of places on a masterclass with Antoine Gouffier who is leading the renaissance of Pouilly Fumé to hear his incredible story, philosophy, and vision and for him to lead you through a tasting of his wines from Domaine du Bouchot.

Antoine Gouffier is a native of Saint Andelain; from an early age he has been surrounded by vines and vignerons. At 21, with a winemaking degree in his pocket, he embarked on extensive travels exploring the world for 12 years.

He settled in South Africa for five years and got his first winemaking experience for a few different wineries.

In 2018 he returned to France to take over from his childhood neighbour Domaine du Bouchot. The previous owner was already a local figure working organically and with biodynamic farming since 2009.

With sheer determination, Antoine affirmed his style. His work was quickly rewarded.

Since his first vintage, he was spotted by French critics. In January 2022 he was awarded “Discovery of the Year” by the French wine magazine “La Revue du Vin de France” with journalists stating “To reveal a new talent is even more exciting when you are in an appellation that drifts away from the heart of the wine drinkers and collectors: Pouilly Fumé”
