Meet the producer
Like all good stories, that of Boutinot France is both long and a little complicated! Boutinot began as a tiny wine importer and has since grown into a respected producer sourcing top-quality wines from iconic French regions, including the southern Rhône.
Production
The Côtes du Rhône region is distinctly Mediterranean, with long warm summers and mild winters. Its vineyards often grow amidst the Garrigue – wild, aromatic herbs such as lavender, rosemary, and thyme – which impart a subtle, evocative fragrance to the wines. This southern Rhône red is predominantly Grenache, offering characteristic red berry fruit, blended with 20% Syrah for added spice and structure. Grapes are sourced from surrounding vineyards of Séguret, Sablet, and other top villages, grown on chalky-clay soils with rounded limestone pebbles (galets roulés). The wine undergoes a 15-day cuvaison, including délestage to gently extract colour and flavour, and incorporates 15% barrel-aged wine for added complexity.
Tasting notes
Attractive bramble fruit and floral aromas lead into a fresh, up-front palate with warm spice and real depth, capturing the essence of the southern Rhône.
Food match
The garrigue-like notes make this wine perfect with Provençal dishes, herby sausages, white bean cassoulet, or Mediterranean roasted vegetables sprinkled with Herbs de Provence.
