Description
La Fleur Solitaire Blanc from Domaine Boutinot is a medium-bodied, elegant white Côtes du Rhône. Crafted from Grenache Blanc (50%), Viognier (20%), and co-fermented pairs of Roussanne/Marsanne and Bourboulenc/Clairette (30%), it showcases the finesse and freshness of Southern Rhône whites. The subtle oak influence adds creaminess and texture without compromising the wine's lively vibrancy.
Why You'll Love It
This is a proper white Côtes du Rhône from Domaine Boutinot, who has been making wines in the Southern Rhône for over 30 years. The blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne, Bourboulenc, and Clairette creates a wine with remarkable complexity and elegance. The careful vineyard selection and traditional vinification ensure the wine reflects the character of its terroir while remaining approachable and food-friendly. Just under a third of the wine is vinified and matured in French oak barrels (mostly 3rd fill, some new) for six months to provide additional texture and structure, while the remaining portion is fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and bright aromatics. This is Southern Rhône white wine with finesse, balance, and versatility.
Vineyard & Production
Produced by Domaine Boutinot in Côtes du Rhône, Southern Rhône, France. Grapes are hand-picked in the early morning for gentle pressing and low-temperature fermentation. Just under a third of the wine is vinified and matured in French oak barrels (mostly 3rd fill, some new) for six months to provide additional texture and structure. The remaining portion is fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and bright aromatics.
Tasting Notes
Fresh, vinous, and refined. The nose is delicate, with hints of fennel tops and hedgerow flowers. The palate is nuanced and textured, with a subtle oak creaminess enhancing its medium-bodied profile. A beautifully balanced wine that is elegant yet approachable.
Food Pairing
Ideal as a refreshing aperitif. Pairs wonderfully with grilled asparagus with olive oil and toasted almonds, goat's cheese salads, grilled fish such as halibut or cod, and creamy chicken dishes including Poulet à l'Estragon.
