Boutinot Les Coteaux Côtes du Rhône Villages

Tasting Notes Boutinot Les Coteaux Cotes du Rhone Villages

A surprisingly powerful Rhône that immediately impresses. Full of flavour with juicy blackberries, supported by sweet thyme, rosemary and classic aromas of the Provencal garrigue. In the background, subtle spiciness of star anise and a hint of cinnamon. The wine is intense and rich, made from only the very best fruit. Soft, ripe tannins provide structure, while a light touch of oak (after 22 months of barrel aging) adds extra depth and elegance.

Wine & Food

A versatile all-rounder from the southern Rhône. Boutinot Les Coteaux Côtes du Rhône Villages is a true 'wonder wine' that combines effortlessly. Think of roasted leg of lamb or beef, but also classic French stews like cassoulet. It also pairs perfectly with savoury dishes like shepherd's pie, a creamy mushroom ragout, or even a spicy pizza. A wine that adds that little extra to every meal.
