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 [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.

The Wine Grape DNA Detective - Part 2 - Jane Anson The Wine Podcast E34

Together they follow the Camino de Santiago to uncover how medieval monks may have spread grapevines across Europe, trace Savagnin Blanc's surprising family tree (parent of both Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc—and grandfather of Cabernet Sauvignon), and tell the incredible detective story of how eight forgotten vines in the French countryside turned out to be the missing parent of both Merlot and Malbec. José also makes the case for why obscure, unloved grape varieties might be wine's best defence against climate change, takes us inside Switzerland's wild 320-grape-variety wine scene ("Swiss wine does not exist"—you'll understand why by the end), and shares his dream of an AI app that could identify any grape variety from a single photo of a leaf. 🔍 Missed Part 1? https://open.spotify.com/episode/1vaUjVwsXVNZjxrpOSU7sk?si=LRgAaiufTFaywU976JC6Ig [https://open.spotify.com/episode/1vaUjVwsXVNZjxrpOSU7sk?si=LRgAaiufTFaywU976JC6Ig] 🍷 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 [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.

José Vouillamoz is a Swiss botanist, grape geneticist and wine grape DNA detective renowned for his surprising discoveries. From the Taurus Mountains of Türkiye to the Camino de Santiago, from rare Pinot Noir pips to recently discovered lineage of Merlot and Malbec, José traces how vines moved with people, trade, war, monks and migration. He explains the origins of grape domestication, the rediscovery of forgotten grape varieties, the importance of preserving genetic diversity, and how AI could one day help identify grapes in the vineyard. A must-listen for anyone interested in wine history, ancient vines, rare grape varieties, ampelography, viticulture, and the detective work behind the DNA of wine. 🍷 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 [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, only available for Jane Anson Wine Voices listeners.
