Description
In a nutshell:
Sunshine-filled and bright with orchard fruits, a sprinkle of white pepper, and a creamy, honeyed richness on the finish.
The lowdown:
Ripe pear and a hint of melon lead the way, supported by a delicate floral touch and a subtle, nutty richness. Medium in weight with a pleasing creaminess, it offers balanced acidity for freshness. While fruit-forward, there's a subtle undercurrent of stony minerality that adds a touch of complexity.This approachable white Rhône is crafted from a blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, and a touch of Roussanne. Parcels are sourced from across the appellation, ensuring diversity in flavour profiles. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, preserving the varietals' pure fruit character, with a portion undergoing malolactic fermentation for a touch of roundness. The 'Solitaire' moniker hints at this wine's easy-drinking style, designed for immediate enjoyment rather than extended cellaring.
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:
This is a sunshine-in-a-glass kind of white, so crack it open on a warm afternoon and pair it with grilled prawns tossed in garlic and herbs.
Suitable for Vegans
