About this wine

Boutinot Les Crus du Sud is an elegant, Grenache -led red from Gigondas in the Southern Rhone , expressing the mineral structure and finesse of one of the appellation's most celebrated terroirs. With vibrant red fruit, subtle garrigue aromatics, and a silky, balanced palate, this is Gigondas at its most refined and approachable. Why You'll Love It Boutinot France has a long history of sourcing and crafting exceptional Southern Rhone wines, and Les Crus du Sud represents a handpicked selection of the best plots from the Dentelles du Montmirail. Rather than chasing power, the focus here is on finesse, mineral structure, and the kind of harmony that only comes from exceptional terroir and careful winemaking. This is a Gigondas that rewards both the curious and the connoisseur. Vineyard and Production Grapes are sourced from the lower rocky limestone slopes and higher, cooler vineyards of Gigondas, benefiting from stony soils, morning sun, and northerly aspects that slow ripening and enhance complexity. The wine is fermented in traditional 20hl concrete vats and matured for 12 months in French oak to integrate structure and spice while preserving varietal freshness. Tasting Notes Delicate garrigue and mint on the nose give way to a silky, structured palate. Fresh red fruit flavours are complemented by subtle spice, creating a harmonious and approachable Gigondas with powerful yet elegant character. Perfect Pairings Pairs beautifully with roasted duck leg with root vegetables, rich slow-cooked stews, and cheese platters. Also excellent with roasted lamb and hearty Provencal dishes.
