Description
In a nutshell:
Rich and ripe with bramble fruit and a whisper of warm spice, this Côtes du Rhône Villages is a proper autumnal hug in a glass.
The lowdown:
Blackberries and hedgerow fruit upfront, laced with liquorice and a hint of black pepper. Medium-bodied, but deceptively rich, with a silky texture and a lingering note of dried herbs. There's a pleasing rusticity here, and while it's not a blockbuster, it has a certain unassuming charm. Domaine Boutinot, known for their knack for sourcing gems, assemble this from choice parcels across various Côtes du Rhône Villages, with additional classified wine from Séguret and Sablet thrown in for good measure. A blend of predominantly Grenache with some Syrah, it sees a touch of oak, but restraint is the name of the game. Fermented in concrete to preserve freshness, it aims for that sun-drenched southern French character, but with a dash more elegance than some of the region's more bombastic offerings.
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:
Pop this open on a chilly weeknight and pair it with a hearty sausage casserole - it'll warm you right up.
Suitable for Vegans
