Characterful and generous red from the south of France.
Production
Maison de Vigneron Rouge is made predominantly from a blend of Grenache and Syrah from the Vin de Pays de Vaucluse. Traditional Rhône-based viticulture is used with part manual/part machine harvest. Grapes are put in fermentation vats and cooled in order to slow the fermentation process and gain immediate fruit flavours. Maceration between 5 to 10 days before pneumatic pressing.

Tasting notes
Instant first impressions are of a classic southern French red; friendly and warming, raspberry and damson fruit adorned with the fruit of Grenache sprinkled with the spice of Syrah.
Food match
Drink with hearty food such as grilled meats and casseroles. Also great with BLTs, pizzas and medium mature, hard cheeses.

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.
