Alicante Bouschet is a grape variety that’s certainly often thought of second tier to some of the more “noble” varieties. Here’s it’s in rare form - rich with gamey fruit, deeply coloured and showing a fine streak of acid to leave this so very drinkable.
Baka is the mysterious collaboration between Stéphane Planche (owner of wine shop Les Jardins de Saint-Vincent in Arbois), Charles Dagand (once of Domaine de L’Octavin, now making wines in the Jura as Carlito), Sébastien Morin (Beaujolais’ new cult-favourite producer) and the near-mythical figure of Jean-Marc Brignot, producer of wines so rare we sometimes question whether they exist at all. As you’d imagine from wines made by such an all-star cast, these are incredibly special wines made from immaculate fruit sourced from friends of theirs.
