Description
In a nutshell:
A southern Rhône beauty full of bright orchard fruits, a sprinkle of white pepper, and a creamy, honeyed richness that lingers beautifully on the finish.
The lowdown:
Côtes du Rhône whites don't get as much love as the reds, but this one shows they're well worth exploring. Grenache Blanc leads the way, backed up by Viognier and other traditional varieties. It's all about ripe pear and a touch of melon, with delicate floral hints and a subtle, nutty richness. Medium-bodied with a creamy texture, it's nicely fresh thanks to balanced acidity, while a little stony minerality adds a bit of extra interest. Fruit-forward, easy to drink, and quietly complex, showing that Rhône whites deserve a moment in the spotlight.
The Producer:
Domaine Boutinot Rhône isn't your classic wine estate with generations of gnarled vines and weathered chateaux. Founded by the ever-energetic Paul Boutinot, they've got a knack for sniffing out exceptional plots, collaborating with local growers, and coaxing top-notch wines out of classic appellations. Their philosophy hinges on finding the sweet spot - wines that capture the soul of the Rhône with its sun-soaked fruit and peppery spice, but with a finesse that makes them more than just gulpable crowd-pleasers. They're masters of blending, weaving together different villages and grape varieties to create wines of surprising depth and complexity. They might not have the centuries-old pedigree, but they've got more than enough energy and expertise to make up for it.
When to drink:
Just the thing for a sunny afternoon, it works brilliantly with barbecued prawns, grilled sea bass, or lemony squid - the bright fruit and creamy texture match those smoky, zesty vibes perfectly.
Suitable for Vegans
