    Ste. Michelle Wine Estates is the ‘string’. Our collection of estate wineries are the ‘pearls.’ We call this our ‘String of Pearls,’ describing a  collection of estate wineries whose vineyards produce some of the best wines in the world.

     Significantly, it also highlights our company philosophy: We believe that each “pearl’s” luster is best revealed when the vineyard and  wine-making decisions are made on site by the people who grow the grapes and make the wine. The Ste. Michelle Wine Estates  company is simply the “string,” providing administrative and financial support for these extraordinary wine properties.

     Ste. Michelle Wine Estates President and CEO Ted Baseler notes, “With Chateau Ste. Michelle as our first pearl, over the years we have developed or acquired other wineries that meet our high standards of quality and whose wines are distinctive. These wines reflect the place where they are grown.” From Washington State’s short, warm summers and sparse soil, to the cooler climate and mineral-rich soil of the Willamette Valley to the complex soil and longer, hot summers of the Napa Valley, the terroir of the pearl on our string is as unique as each wine in our portfolio.

    The Bousquet family comes from the city of Carcassonne, in the South of France and have 4 generations of history in the winemaking tradition. Our passion is to produce wines of superior quality and this is what led us to Argentina to begin a new chapter in the tradition of our wine making. Our vineyards and winery are located in the Gualtallary valley in Tupungato, Mendoza at an altitude of 1200 meters (4,000 feet). With cool nights, a near constant breeze, and a very dry climate, the vineyard is located in a region with the idyllic conditions to produce grapes that are ripe and demonstrate natural acidity. All these great climatic attributes give the grapes the possibility to attain an optimum maturation without having to use pesticides or any other chemical products, hence allowing Domaine Bousquet to produce high quality and healthy organically grown grapes which are then transformed into high quality organic wines.  Since we planted our vines in 2000, we have been dedicated to farming organically while improving our land’s biodiversity. Our cellar has a capacity of about 4 million liters of premium wine that include stainless and cements vats, and French and American oak barrels. The objective of the Bousquet family was to unite our tradition of European wine making with the ideal agricultural conditions in Tupungato, Mendoza. The result of this union are extraordinary wines that boast incredible color, delicious fruity character, good structure with ripe tannins and perfect acid balance
