"A thousand million thousand spices!"

“Bachi Bouzouc exudes even more aromatic charm, with a nose of crushed black fruits and a palate dominated by zan, featuring a full-bodied attack and a more structured finish.” (The RVF Guide 2024). A beautiful tribute to Captain Haddock—an immediate delight!

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (A well-crafted, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

La Réserve d’O is a vineyard spanning about ten hectares, located in Arboras on the heights of the Terrasses du Larzac. Founded in 2004 by Frédéric and Marie Chauffray and managed according to biodynamic principles, it quickly rose to become one of the region’s most recognized estates. The estate’s namesake wine boasts a rich, elegant style; it has evolved significantly and, since 2011, has held a prominent place among the Languedoc’s leading wines. Bilbo and Hissez-O are fine examples of the Terrasses du Larzac appellation, offering a more full-bodied style.

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

Located at high altitude on the Arboras plateau, the vineyards (12 ha) here find their roots beneath the stones. Having settled here in 2005, Marie, the new president of the Terrasses du Larzac winegrowers’ association, and Frédéric Chauffray practice biodynamic viticulture and use gentle winemaking methods (minimal SO₂, no added yeast, and no fining or filtration) to craft wines from harvests in which each grape is meticulously selected.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

Bachi Bouzouc exudes even more aromatic charm, with a nose of crushed black fruits and a palate dominated by zan, featuring a full-bodied attack and a more structured finish.

About the estate:

Frédéric Chauffray has two passions: rock music and wine. Between his Gibson guitar and winemaking, he ultimately chose the latter. Starting out as a wine merchant alongside his wife Marie in 1990, he founded his own winery in 2004 in the Terrasses du Larzac region, in the town of Arboras, at an elevation of about 400 meters. Thanks to this cool geographical location—in the foothills of the Larzac Plateau, beneath the Col du Vent—and a highly respectful, minimally interventionist approach to viticulture, the couple quickly began producing open, joyful wines, a far cry from the more austere styles of some wines in the region. Their star is firmly on the rise, and the Réserve shows no signs of running dry.

About the wine:

A medium-bodied red with creamy tannins, expressing notes of black cherries, bay leaves, wild herbs, and sweet spices. Juicy and well-balanced, with good body on the palate and a flavorful, textured finish. Made from biodynamically grown grapes certified by Demeter. Ready to drink or suitable for aging.

Review and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on February 1, 2024

After a very difficult 2021, Bachi-Bouzouc delivers a vibrant and very fruity wine in 2022. Full-bodied, rich, and silky, the palate offers a structure that allows the freshness of stewed black fruits—slightly tart and complemented by herbaceous and licorice notes—to shine through, rather than the roundness and indulgent intensity of red fruits found in its cousin, Bilbo. It concludes with a dense, lingering finish tinged with licorice notes. An optimistic price brings the rating down to 3.8. A cuvée offering immediate pleasure, best enjoyed for its fruitiness, and one that will remain very approachable for three years. Pairs beautifully with a Berber couscous featuring lamb from Lozère.
