Meet the Producer

Boutinot France has a long and fascinating history, starting as a small wine importer and evolving into a producer and distributor of high-quality French wines. Their team focuses on selecting exceptional vineyard plots and crafting wines that reflect the character of their terroir while remaining approachable and easy-drinking.

Production

In the sun-drenched vineyards of the Languedoc, a single plot of Merlot provides ripe, juicy fruit, while a carefully selected plot of Mourvèdre contributes a touch of spice and structure. Grapes are hand-harvested, de-stemmed, and macerated at cool temperatures to preserve freshness. Fermentation takes place without oak, allowing the natural fruit and varietal expression to shine. The final blend is then carefully assembled.

Tasting Notes

Food match Enjoy on its own or pair with hearty pasta dishes and Mediterranean recipes featuring tomatoes, olives, or anchovies. Grape Merlot 80%, Mourvèdre 20%
