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.

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
