  How a broken-down château became a Bordeaux Icon - Jane Anson The Wine Podcast E38 29.08.2026 31min

Then they walk away from all of it.That's how Florence and Daniel Cathiard came to Bordeaux: not through wine families or wine school, but through a memory. Years earlier, before terrifying downhill races, a coach had handed the young ski team a glass of red Cabernet to help them sleep —decades ahead of the French Paradox headlines. It stuck. So when the Cathiards decided to change their lives completely, they went looking for a left-bank one block Cabernet estate, sight almost unseen, and found Château Smith Haut Lafitte: one block, ringed by forest, its tower broken, its vines poorly kept — and something about it they couldn't walk away from.In this episode, Florence tells host Suzanne Mustacich the full story: renovating a derelict château, converting to organic farming before anyone else in Bordeaux was doin git, watching daughter Mathilde build the skincare brand Caudalie from a backpack and a small motorbike, hosting a king who insisted on making his own barrel, and expanding into Pomerol and Napa Valley — all while handing the keys, gradually, to the next generation.🍷 Subscribe to the channel✨ Like this video to support fine wine storytelling🌍 Explore more episodes featuring global wine leaders✔️ Find the wines on Wine-SearcherChâteau Smith Haut Lafitte https://www.wine-searcher.com/merchant/8684-chateau-smith-haut-lafitteCathiard Vineyard https://www.wine-searcher.com/merchant/191646-cathiard-vineyard✔️ Check on Jane's latest tasting notes https://janeanson.com#JaneAnsonWinePodcast#FlorenceCathiard #SmithHautLafitte #Bordeaux #Napa #CathiardVineyard #Caudalie#OrganicWine #WineTourism #FamilyEstate #WineSearcherChapters00:00 The Heart of Château Smith Lafitte02:49 A Journey from Business to Wine06:10 The Vision Behind Château Smith Lafitte09:00 Organic Farming and Environmental Commitment11:49 Royal Connections and Organic Advocacy15:13 Reflections on Vintages and Vineyard Life18:00 Expanding Horizons: New Ventures20:53 Navigating Challenges in Napa24:11 Family Legacy and Future Aspirations

  “Never Lose the Sense of Wonder” Christian Seely on a Life in Wine - Jane Anson The Wine Podcast E37 11.08.2026 51min

Christian talks about the total conviction that a great wine must be the unique individual expression of its vineyard, and a deliberately decentralised structure that leaves each estate's team to pursue that expression on its own terms.He remembers discovering Bordeaux with his father, falling in love with wine, and driving to work along the Route des Châteaux. He talks about the excitement of discovering new vineyards, opening the first bottle from his English sparkling wine project, and the privilege of being able to make wine every day.A personal conversation about vineyards, wine and the joy of still being fascinated by them.🍷 Subscribe to the channel✨ Like this video to support fine wine storytelling🌍 Explore more episodes featuring global wine leaders✔️Find the wines on Wine-SearcherChâteau Pichon Baron https://www.wine-searcher.com/merchant/17440-chateau-pichon-longueville-baron Disznoko https://www.wine-searcher.com/merchant/49846-disznokoQuinta do Noval https://www.wine-searcher.com/merchant/22229-quinta-do-novalOutpost Wines https://www.wine-searcher.com/merchant/27103-outpost-wines✔️Check on Jane's latest tasting notes https://janeanson.comChapters0:00 A life spent chasing wonder0:44 Suzanne introduces Christian Seely1:22 A snapshot of the AXA Millésimes portfolio2:15 No group winemaking policy — decentralisation as a philosophy4:10 Visiting the vineyards through harvest4:52 Getting his start: a gap year in Bordeaux with his father6:38 The drive to work past Château Ducru-Beaucaillou7:52 Platt Vineyard: fog, the Pacific, and West Sonoma Coast10:07 Outpost: volcanic soils and altitude on Howell Mountain12:50 Domaine de l'Arlot: Burgundy's rare monopoles14:59 A quarter-hectare next to DRC16:23 Bordeaux vs Burgundy, and Pichon Baron's three wines19:51 Le Griffon Blanc: grafting Suduiraut onto Pauillac 3:35 Tokaj: Aszú, puttonyos, and the wine of kings24:53 Disznókő and the fall of communism30:45 Quinta do Noval: field blends and the Nacional parcel38:38 Blending a consistent house-style tawny port43:19 Coates & Seely: building English sparkling wine from scratch48:03 The dream dinner party#WinePodcast #ChristianSeely #AXAMillesimes #Bordeaux #Tokaj #Douro #Burgundy #NapaValley #EnglishSparklingWine

  Starting a Non-Profit: A How-To Guide - Jane Anson The Wine Podcast E36 28.07.2026 43min

You want to make a difference — just do it."Jane Anson and Chinedu Rita Rosa share the inspiring story of creating Bordeaux Mentor Week, a program designed to open doors and foster diversity in the Bordeaux wine industry: from a garden conversation into a week-long bootcamp that has now brought 28 scholars from roughly 20 countries into Bordeaux's wine industry.They walk through it all — the frustration that started it, the first six scholars chosen on a shoestring budget, the sponsors and estates who said yes when nobody had a track record yet, the visa nightmares nobody warns you about, and the moment at a right bank château dinner when a scholar's tears revealed that imposter syndrome doesn't disappear once you've made it through the door.If you've ever thought about starting a mentorship program, a non-profit, or any kind of grassroots initiative — in wine or anywhere else — this is the practical, honest version of how it's actually done.With huge thanks to everyone who has backed Bordeaux Mentor Week, including the Gérard Basset Foundation, the Académie du Vin Library, Château La Lagune, Château Bellefont-Belcier, Château Biac, Bernard Magrez Start-Up Win, Christian Holthausen, and every estate, sponsor and mentor who has opened a door.🍷 Subscribe to the channel✨ Like this video to support fine wine storytelling🌍 Explore more episodes featuring global wine leaders✔️ Check the latest updates on the Bordeaux Mentor Week at https://janeanson.com/Chapters00:00 Introduction to Bordeaux Mentor Week02:50 The Genesis of Mentoring in Bordeaux06:08 Building the Foundation: First Steps08:52 Challenges and Solutions in Logistics11:51 Recruiting Mentors and Scholars14:40 Learning from Mistakes17:49 The Impact of the Program21:04 Overcoming Imposter Syndrome23:42 Success Metrics and Achievements27:03 Unexpected Outcomes and Connections29:45 Advice for Aspiring Change-Makers32:35 The Future of Bordeaux Mentor Week#WinePodcast #BordeauxMentorWeek #Mentorship #DiversityInWine #Bordeaux #WineIndustry #NonProfit #JaneAnson #WineEducation #ChangeMakers

  Inside Pomerol's Best Kept Secret - Jane Anson The Wine Podcast E35 14.07.2026 43min

Twenty-odd years later, he's still there—running five Bordeaux estates, including two of the appellation's most quietly serious addresses, Clos du Clocher and Château Bonalgue, alongside the family's historic négociant house, Ets Audy.In this episode of the Wine Podcast, host Jane Anson sits down with Bourotte as his family marks 100 years in Pomerol, and the conversation moves easily between deep history and hard-won, practical wisdom.Jean-Baptiste explains how Clos du Clocher's dense blue clay and Bonalgue's mixed gravel-sand-clay terroir produce two very different styles of Pomerol, what a négociant actually does inside La Place de Bordeaux, and what a career at Cartier taught him about pride in a product and telling an honest story. He also shares the centenary manga he commissioned—illustrated using the estate's own blue clay—his picks for what to drink right now, and the lunch he didn't realise he was sharing with DRC's Aubert de Villaine.🍷 This episode is brought to you by iDealwine:https://www.idealwine.com/en/buy-wine/sale-vente-primeur?order-by=vintage-desc&utm_source=jane+anson&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=en+primeur✨ iDealwine has kindly given a special discount, exclusively for Jane Anson Wine Voices listeners.

If you’re interested in wine, branding, or building a product in a crowded market, this conversation is essential.✔️Get the latest updates at https://janeanson.com/ 🍷 Subscribe to the channel✨ Like this video to support fine wine storytelling🌍 Explore more episodes featuring global wine leadersChapters00:00 Introduction to Kevshiri and Its Meaning04:52 The Journey of Le Grand Noir and Its Creation09:39 Understanding the Wine Market and Consumer Needs14:17 The Concept of Discovery Wines19:16 What you need to know about blending grape varieties

In Part 2, Dulou recounts what led Moët Hennessy to this remarkable location, the region’s wine history dates back to 19th-century missionaries, and how the altitude at 2,100–2,600 meters brings intense sunlight, freshness, and deep colour, shaping both the grapes and a more precise, refined winemaking. Working with 131 families on steep, hand-farmed plots, Ao Yun aims to rival the world’s best and is already performing strongly in blind tastings against top Bordeaux.🍷Check Ao Yun on Wine-Searcherhttps://www.wine-searcher.com/find/ao+yun+shangri+la+yunnan+china✔️Get the latest updates at https://janeanson.com/🍷 Subscribe to the channel✨ Like this video to support fine wine storytelling🌍 Explore more episodes featuring global wine leadersChapters00:00 Original goal: Create a Grand Cru in China02:57 Ao Yun: A magical place with remarkable people and terroir05:47 The Journey of Au Yun's 10th Vintage08:44 Blind Tastings and Global Recognition11:23 The Winemaker's Global Experience#WinePodcast #AoYun #FineWine #ChineseWine #LuxuryWine #WineCollector #WineLovers #HimalayanWine #Yunnan #LVMH #Winemaking #Terroir #CabernetSauvignon #WineTasting #rarewine

With vineyards ranging from 2,100 to 2,600 meters, farmed entirely by hand across more than 300 tiny plots tended by 131 local families, this is winemaking on a radically different scale—and philosophy. Maxence Dulou takes us inside the 2022 vintage—Ao Yun’s 10th release—explaining how climate patterns, high UV exposure, and dramatic day–night temperature shifts contribute to wines of remarkable freshness, silky texture, and refined power. From “under-extraction” in the cellar to the use of neutral vessels like stoneware jars and glass, every decision is about expressing place with purity and precision.🍷Check Ao Yun on Wine-Searcherhttps://www.wine-searcher.com/find/ao+yun+shangri+la+yunnan+china✔️Get the latest updates at https://janeanson.com/🍷 Subscribe to the channel✨ Like this video to support fine wine storytelling🌍 Explore more episodes featuring global wine leadersChapters00:00 Yunnan: An Epic Wine Adventure00:56 Introducing new 2022 vintage01:49 A unique climate05:23 How Altitude and Sun Exposure Impacts the Winemaking06:49 Winemaking goal: Pure, fresh, elegant07:14 Ageing: Barrels, Local Stoneware and Glass Jars08:34 Tasting the 2022 Vintage#WinePodcast #AoYun #FineWine #ChineseWine #LuxuryWine #WineCollector #WineLovers #HimalayanWine #Yunnan #LVMH #Winemaking #Terroir #CabernetSauvignon #WineTasting #RareWine
