Wines from Le Bouc A Trois Pattes
Le Bouc A Trois Pattes winesPerdu dans les Dunes 2023
Perdu dans les Dunes is Le Bouc à Trois Pattes' orange wine — Chardonnay with skin contact from 305m altitude, produced without sulphites since 2013. The cooler mountain climate delivers a freshness and precision unusual for the orange style. Light, balanced and harmonious.

Un coup de kuq 2023
Un coup de kuq is Le Bouc à Trois Pattes' heaviest red — Alicante-Bouschet and Syrah in an unusually bold blend. Alicante-Bouschet is a teinturier variety with red flesh, not just a red skin, which delivers deep pigmentation and density without heaviness. Wim's most serious effort.

Quel âne de course 2023
Quel âne de course is Wim Wagemans' 100% Carignan — early-harvested from old vines on gneiss, granite and schist at 305m in Mons. Intentionally harvested before full ripeness to preserve freshness and acidity. No sulphites since 2013. More structure and depth than Hippie Killer.

Hippie Killer 2023
Hippie Killer is Le Bouc à Trois Pattes' lightest red — a fresh blend from Wim Wagemans' 305-metre vineyard in Mons-la-Trivalle. The cooler mountain terroir delivers a freshness and acidity rarely found in Languedoc. No sulphites since 2013, native yeasts.

Miss Piggy Blues 2024
Miss Piggy Blues is Le Bouc à Trois Pattes' most playful wine — Cinsault and Muscat co-fermented for an aromatic and lively red that can be served chilled. Muscat's florality meets Cinsault's freshness — an unusual combination that works surprisingly well.

About Le Bouc A Trois Pattes
Wim Wagemans is Belgian and found his place in Mons-la-Trivalle in the Haute Vallée de l'Orb in 2006 — a valley setting close to Axel Prüfer and a handful of other natural wine producers who have built a small scene in the mountainous northern part of Languedoc. The vineyard sits at 305 metres altitude on clay and limestone. The cooler climate — cold nights, northerly wind — gives the grapes more acidity and finesse than coastal Languedoc. Wim uses only indigenous yeasts and has added no sulphites since 2013. The blends vary from year to year. Sometimes destemmed, sometimes not. Experimentation is part of the idea — each vintage is a new possibility. The varieties range from Carignan and Cinsault to Chardonnay and Riesling. The orange wines from Le Bouc à Trois Pattes are particularly well regarded.
