A classic Viognier with notes of ripe apricot.
Production
Viognier grapes from a small parcel of less than a hectare are picked at optimum ripeness, a decision made by Guillaume Letang in consultation with the grower Patrick Bech, to deliver rich, concentrated flavours. Situated in the Vin du Pays du Gard in the Languedoc, the vineyard has abundant apricot trees that surround the vineyards which, like the vines, benefit from the terroir and climatic conditions of the region. The must is cooled prior to vinification to ensure maximum fruit concentration, and no oak is used. We bottle in dark glass to protect the fresh aromatic characters.

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.
