In 2018, Patrick Bouju and fellow 0/0 winemaker Jason Ligas acquired vines in Samos, Greece and began a stunning vinification project. Sous le Vegetal seeks to reflect the micro-terroirs of the island as well as different expressions of the rare varietal Muscat à Petits Grains through varying ageing and maceration techniques. In line with both winemakers personal projects, strict biodynamic practices are used in the vineyards, grapes are harvested by hand and absolutely nothing is added in the winemaking process. Ligas retired from the project in 2019 so these new vintages are pure Bouju. Palli & Genesia 2022 is fermented and aged in stainless steel vats, terracotta amphorae and concrete eggs. Picking only takes places from vines at altitudes higher than 500m above sea level, with the highest vineyard found at over 1000m. Vibrant, full of fresh lemon zest and sea salt in a milky shade of yellow. Palli & Genesia 2022 would pair well with rich and nutty cheeses like an Auvergne tommes.
