Description
In a nutshell:
A Beaujolais Cru that's reminscent of a summer garden in a glass - vibrant red berry flavours, a whisper of rose petals, and a delightfully refreshing finish.
The lowdown:
A swirl of the glass, and the scent rises like a summer breeze - violets, wild strawberries, the softest hint of damp earth. It paints a picture in the mind's eye. A sip, and it's light as a whisper on the tongue. Bright berry flavours dance a moment, then settle into a pleasing roundness. Not a wine with grand gestures, yet it lingers. Made with those remarkable Gamay grapes, the very heart of Beaujolais. The 'La Madone' vineyard is a special place, blessed with crumbly pink sandstone soil, and a hilltop chapel watching over the vines. The winemaker uses tradition as a guide, not a rule book. The grapes are whole-bunch fermented, adding a touch of rustic charm. It sees oak, yes, but old and mellow, just to lend a little structure, not dominate. The result is something like bottled sunshine - a wine for sharing with friends around a table, long after the last plate is cleared.
The Producer
Boutinot France has mastered the art of crafting wines as warm and inviting as the southern French sun. Their focus lies in producing approachable bottlings; think juicy fruit, a touch of spice, and a crispness that refreshes. You won't find brooding complexity or demanding structures here. What you will find are reliable, enjoyable wines that happily partner with a casual meal or a chat with friends. For those seeking honest, well-crafted expressions of Provence, the Languedoc, and the Rhône, Boutinot offers a satisfying answer without any unnecessary fanfare.
When to drink:
Open it as the sun dips below the horizon, its delicate charm a perfect match for simple roast chicken and a tangle of buttered greens.
Suitable for Vegans
