Vivino ratings
Tasting notes
Classic, well-balanced Sauvignon Blanc from southern France with herbaceous aromas and crisp green apples on the palate.
Food match
Drink on its own, well chilled, or try with tapas -the racy acidity in the wine makes it a great match for seafood in particular - boquerones anchovies would be fantastic!

Meet the producer
Like all good stories, that of Boutinot France is both long and a little bit complicated! Boutinot began as a tiny importer in 1980, specialising in French wines. Paul Boutinot himself began by personally selecting the wines from France, back in the UK he would unload the trailer by hand. And deliver the crates of wines to customers himself. But good things grow and by the end of the decade we had become a bigger and better company. A company that not only sought out great wines but made them too. After 10 years later, Boutinot France started in January 1990. The first office was in the middle of the vines in Julienas; perfectly located to navigate the Beaujolais and Macon regions on the quest to make beautiful wines.
