Domaine Boutinot La Côte Sauvage AOP Cairanne is the flagship wine from Boutinot's estate in Cairanne, one of the Southern Rhône's most prestigious crus. Characterised by its finesse and finely-grained texture, this wine showcases the famous 'argilo-calcaire' (limestone pebbles over clay) of Boutinot's hilltop vineyards such as La Pauline and Les Six Terrasses. Slow winemaking methods and gentle maturation for 22 months in different sized barrels of old French oak create a wine of great concentration, complexity, and elegance. This magnum format (150cl) is perfect for special occasions and extended ageing.

Why You'll Love It

This is Boutinot's flagship wine from Cairanne, representing the pinnacle of their Southern Rhône production. The cru of Cairanne lies in the heart of the Southern Rhône valley, north east of Orange, and has been recognised for exceptional quality. Boutinot's hilltop vineyards, including the renowned La Pauline and Les Six Terrasses sites, benefit from the classic argilo-calcaire soil of limestone pebbles over clay, creating wines with remarkable finesse and structure. The old bush vines are hand-harvested, vinified traditionally with only natural yeasts, and undergo a long cuvaison period with gentle remontage and manual pigeage. The 22-month maturation in mostly old French oak barrels develops great concentration, complexity, and finesse. The magnum format enhances ageing potential and is ideal for sharing at special occasions.
