An easy-drinking, medium dry Boutinot classic!
Production
The Gascony area of south west France is an excellent source of Colombard and Ugni Blanc which together provide a pleasent mix of tropical and herbecaeous flavours. Vines are trained using the Guyot system and vigorous grape selection is used to capture the fresh aromatics and flavour of this Blanc de Blancs. On delivery to the cellar, the grapes are cooled then undergo maceration on skins for 10-15 hours before pneumatic pressing and decanting to clear juice. We then keep the wine on fine lees to retain maximum freshness before blending into the final cuvée. To ensure freshness, we blend and bottle three of four times a year - an intricate process essential to maintaining stylistic continuity and quality, one which demands knowledge of how each component parcel will evolve. An additional level of residual sugar is permitted for the Demi-Sec to give a more rounded palate in comparision to the Sec.

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.
