Consider the family’s hand-cranked wooden press, the mini-family cellar and the bottling “line,” where each bottle is corked and labeled by hand—when someone says they are searching for an authentic wine far removed from today’s hypertechnology and trends, they’re looking for Bouard-Bonnefoy wines.
