Boutinot 'La Cote Sauvage' Cairanne, Rhône

a serious and complex red wine from the Southern Rhône, crafted from Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Carignan grown on hillside vineyards with limestone-rich soils. It opens with aromas of morello cherry, cinnamon spice, and wild herbs, layered with hints of liquorice and black olives. On the palate, it’s rich and full-flavored, offering dark plummy fruit, chocolate, and a touch of black tea, supported by supple tannins and a savory, meaty texture. Aged for 22 months in old French oak, it finishes with finesse and a finely-grained structure that reflects its cru Cairanne pedigree.
