Winemaker Jean Luppatelli.

The extended Bouchard family make many wines in many places. The best of them heading into the stratosphere. Spotted this one on offer in a different retailer and gave it a go. Nice enough, gentle and flavoursome but I did expect a little more oomph. If you want a non-intrusive bit-better quality swigger then (on offer) this could be your man.
