The Organic Wine Company was founded by Véronique Raskin in 1980. Véronique was born and raised in the South of France. For many generations her ancestors owned land in the Languedoc region, close to the historic walled city of Carcassone. She attended the University of Toulouse, and originally came to this country in 1973. Meanwhile, back in France, her 75 year-old grandfather, Pierre Fabre, a Professor of Medicine, was pioneering organic viticulture. He decided to convert the family property, “La Bousquette,” to organic methods and to bottle its wine. By 1980 he had accomplished these goals, and had transmitted the organic bug to Véronique. She offered to import the La Bousquette wines into California, to maintain a connection with the family land, and to further her grandfather’s dream. She remains passionate about the organic vision, and about selecting the finest organic wines to share with you. When you call, you will actually speak to Véronique and she truly enjoys connecting with you all and answering your questions directly. We invite you to try our selection of Certified Organic wines. We guarantee each and every one.
