You Can Now Cop Maison Bukana Wines at These Branches of The Marketplace
It's even easier to grab bottles from Nadine Lustre and Christophe Barilou's wine brand.
(SPOT.ph) We could all take a page from the French in realizing wine's power to bring out the best of any food. This same realization fuels the brand Maison Bukana Wines by Nadine Lustre and partner Christophe Bariou, who owns the resort of the same name in Siargao. Chances are you've been seeing the name more and more at wine lists in restaurants around the Metro, and now it's even easier to get your hands on these enthralling bottles. Maison Bukana Wines are now available at selected branches of The Marketplace—time to stock up for your upcoming events and dinner parties!

Maison Bukana wines at The Marketplace
Maison Bukana Wines are now available by the bottle at the following branches of The Marketplace:
- Shangri-La Plaza
- Power Plant Mall, Rockwell, Makati
- Tower 2, Ayala Triangle Gardens
- Grand Eastwood Palazzo, Eastwood City
- Cuenca Park, Ayala Alabang Village
Three Bordeaux variants currently make up the Maison Bukana lineup. There's Presqu'île (P1,160), a crisp white wine with a bright, citrusy-appley profile that's just a touch dry—perfect to have with everything from roast chicken to a wedge of brie. For hot days out there's Les Beaux Jours (P1,160)—a rosé that enchants with its berry-led, floral character. And then you've got Vendage d'été (P1,160), Maison Bukana's resident red wine whose deep ruby hue draws you in before it hooks you with its tannic feel and notes of dark red cherries and plums.
The launch was held at The Marketplace's Shangri-La Plaza branch, with the support of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the Philippines as part of the 2024 edition of the annual Goût de France. Just some of the event's guests were French Ambassador to the Philippines, Her Excellency Marie Fontanel; The Marketplace Managing Director Christine "Tin" O. Tueres; and, of course, Maison Bukana co-founder Nadine Lustre.
Venturing out to wines came about upon the suggestion of one the business partners of Bariou, who happens to be an importer of wines, Lustre tells us. After all, she says, "wine is a very French thing." The event also featured a quick tutorial on pairing Maison Bukana's wines with different cheeses, courtesy of Kevin Charuel of the French Chamber of Commerce and The Tasting Club. Sure doesn't hurt that there was a spread showcasing different varieties of cheese, charcuterie, fresh and dried fruit, crackers, and the like—all great nibbled on alongside the wines.
