14% abv

Vol- 75cl

Intense, bright and ripe raspberry Grenache fruit balanced by peppery, savoury characters from the Syrah and Mourvèdre. Generous but properly balanced and underpinned with smooth, ripe tannins.
The domaine is in the south of the appellation cooled by the sea breezes of the Camargue and sitting on an ancient, raised river bed with galets roulés soil. The vines are 25 years old and yields are around 50 hl/ha. Grapes are destemmed and fermented traditionally for 15 days to ensure a good balance of fruit and tannins. Syrah 40%, Mourvedre 30%, Grenache 30%. Spicy, characterful, southern red from vineyards in conversion to organic.

Great food pairing with, Côte de Boeuf, lamb cutlets with rosemary, dishes with a touch of chilli spice, mature hard cheeses.

The original estate was founded in the 11th Century by the hermits of Sainte Cécile d’Estagel Abbaye and it made wine for pilgrims en route to Santiago de Compostella. The estate encompasses 80 hectares of sunny, south-facing vineyards planted on sandstone soils and benefitting from Mediterranean breezes that cool the vines in the summer.They have had a close relationship with characterful owner Jérôme Castillon, the 9th generation of the family to run the business and for the last few years, he has been joined by his son Tanguy, the 10th generation. He spent 3 years working in different vineyards across North America, South Africa and even spent time at Henners, Boutinot’s own estate in Sussex to gain experience of making sparkling wines. In particular Tanguy has been instrumental in bringing biodynamic practises to the estate and is particularly passionate about Phytotherapy, using the medicinal properties of certain plants and herbs to improve the health of the vines.
