  • Summary

  • In contrast to last week's ep with Corney & Barrow, this week we continue on the theme of Bordeaux but this time looking at New Wave Bordeaux - what the &*%$ is that I hear you say!

    Hugo and Ben welcome Benedict Butterworth, founder of Benedict Butterworth Wines, onto the podcast to give us an overview of the modern state of play in Bordeaux. BBW is an independent wine importer and retailer with a focus on the innovative, wacky, and creative superstars you wouldn't usually associate with the most famous wine region in the world.


    We discuss:

    • China and climate change (sounds like a Trump special!)
    • Snarky Bordelaise politics including Cheval Blanc and Angelus
    • Grape varieties you've never heard of
    • And Ben attempts a Geordie accent, hawey the lads!


    And we tucked into these three beauties for Benedict's portfolio:

    • ⁠Chateau Cazbonne, Comme en 1900⁠
    • Vielles Chapelle, Les Amuse-Gueles⁠
    • Chateau Tapon Saint Emilion Grand Cru ⁠
