This tasting explores a changing Bordeaux through two all-natural producers, the rare and old Bouchalès grape, and bottles worth discovering well beyond the labels.

🍇 About Bouchalès
Also known as Cujas or Prolongeau, Bouchalès is a rare, historic red grape variety native to the Bordeaux region.

🏛️ About the Producer
Paul Hobbs cut his teeth at Opus One and Simi Winery before launching his own label in 1991. A true globe trotter working across nine countries each year, he was among the first to recognise Argentina's high altitude potential, co-founding Viña Cobos in the Valle de Uco. He later expanded to France (Crozes-Hermitage, with Chapoutier) and Spain's Galicia (Alvaredos-Hobbs).

One of only three original 19th-century founding families of the Marsala trade still operating today. Early expansion was shaped by Josephine Despagne, Carlo's wife from Sauternes, who brought French winemaking knowledge to the Sicilian estate.
The winery operates hundreds of acres across the Agro Trapanese region and on the volcanic island of Pantelleria, focusing primarily on indigenous Sicilian grape varieties. Known for their legendary Marsala, Passito di Pantelleria, and a modern range of dry table wines including Grillo, Nero d'Avola, and Frappato.

🏛️ About Chichibu Distillery
Founded by Ichiro Akuto in 2008, Chichibu is the pioneer of Japan's new wave of craft whisky and the first distillery to receive a production license in the country in 35 years. Rooted in a family legacy that stretches back to 1625, Ichiro built on generations of brewing heritage to create a micro-scale distillery in Saitama Prefecture, producing just 60,000–90,000 litres per year using custom Scottish copper pot stills, in-house floor malting, and traditional Mizunara oak washbacks.
What sets Chichibu apart is its philosophy: rather than chasing one house style, Ichiro crafts a wide range of expressions such as peated, unpeated, aged in everything from ex-bourbon and sherry to IPA beer casks and the rare, highly coveted Mizunara oak. The result is some of the most sought-after and collectible whisky in the world, with limited releases that sell out instantly and a cult following that spans from Tokyo bars to global auction houses.
