A thirst-quenching Syrah with notes of red fruit, pepper, and freshness... On the palate: lovely density, delightful richness with velvety tannins; it’s smooth, easy to drink, and goes down a treat!
Edouard Laffitte
Edouard Laffitte jumped into viticulture after several years working at the cooperative of Estézargues in the Gard, where he met Jean-François Nicq of Domaine Les Foulard Rouges, with whom he’d discover natural wine.A discovery that stirred a desire in Edouard to cultivate his own land, which would be made possible by his friends Loïc Roure of Domaine du Possible. When Loïc decided to buy to former cooperativewinery in Lansac, 40 kilometres from Perpignan, he asked Edouard to join in the adventure. And so was born “Jajakistan”, self-declared kingdom of natural wine, where Edouard founded his estate Domaine du Bout du Monde around a decade ago. Today, Edouard Laffitte works 7.7 hectares of vines on soils of granitic arenite, schist and gneiss. The vines are at rather high altitudes, and primarily north-facing: the result is more than convincing, with wines distinguished by their freshness and fruit! Warning: seriously drinkable wine!
A nose with notes of red fruit and spices... Palate: round, with beautiful freshness, full and luscious. It’s Hop là! (French for “Here we go!”) and down the hatch!
Black fruit, plum, ripe strawberry, hint of spice... Fluid on the palate, a hyper-digestible, fresh primeur, enough to dream of another world (un autre monde in French)!
A complex and evolving nose on notes of black fruit, spices, cinnamon and a hint of menthol. The palate is generous, round and elegant, while keeping an impressively high drinkability.
A wine characterized by notes of exotic fruits, pear jam, and apricot... On the palate: fresh and delicate, with nice structure and a finish on subtle salty notes. A sunny, expressive, and generous white wine, with that wonderful energy that’s the hallmark of Bout du Monde, of course!
Notes of morello cherry, prune, forest floor, and nutmeg... On the palate: a deep, generous wine with beautiful structure and plenty of body. A perfect wine for fall evenings paired with a slow-cooked dish!
Edouard was looking for a name for this vintage, so he asked his son for an idea, and his son told him, “You can name it after me!” This four-year-old vintage has already developed secondary aromas: spices, forest floor, coffee, raisins, and a lovely, mouth-coating texture.
A nose of red fruits with great freshness... Palate: frank and smooth, this is a pure, thirst-quenching, gulpable glouglou wine! A lovely wine at a lovely price!
A dry rancio that truly transports us to another world from the very first sip, thanks to its remarkable aromatic complexity. Notes of walnuts, hazelnuts, dried apricots, and honey, with a superb finish. A wine for contemplation, to be savored over the course of several tastings.
