Domaine du Petit Bouchon - Vincent Larcelet

🍷 Domaine du Petit Bouchon: Living Wine and Radical Craft in Alsace

Founded in 2020 in Eichhoffen (Bas-Rhin) by Vincent and Sophie Larcelet, Domaine du Petit Bouchon is a 3.7-hectare family micro-estate named after their daughter Agathe’s nickname. Vincent, trained under Jura’s Jean-François Ganevat, farms very old vines (80–100+ years, including centenary Sylvaner) biodynamically, certified by Nature & Progrès. He uses no additives—not even sulfur—and works entirely by hand without tractors to preserve biodiversity.
