2020 Les Bottes Rouges 'Kilt' Chardonnay Liqueur, France
$65.00
A tiny-production, Jura-born liqueur from Jean-Baptiste Menigoz’s Les Bottes Rouges, Kilt captures the domaine’s low-intervention ethos in a fortified, sweet-leaning format. Built from late-harvest, hyper-concentrated fruit and fortified with locally distilled spirit, it’s aged in older barrels to develop oxidative depth without heaviness.
The 2020 shows dried orchard fruit, citrus peel, warm spice, and a gentle walnut-skin edge, all threaded by Jura’s unmistakable saline-mineral lift. Silky and quietly powerful, with a long, sweet-savory finish. A rare, soulful liqueur that channels the Bottes Rouges signature—precision, purity, and a touch of the unexpected.
