Domaine Boutinot

Seguret Cotes du Rhone Villages ‘Les Coteaux Schisteux’

France, Rhone Valley

Grenache (Garnacha), Syrah (Shiraz)

Paler ruby than some earlier vintages due to the extreme proportion of Grenache, the nose is however as explosive, plush and opulent as ever, layered with exotic spice, cracked black pepper and of course streaked with vanilla. The palate is instantly appealing, polished and smooth on entry but steeped in depth and texture as the flavors swirl around, lengthen and delight. The lasting impression is satisfying a big, opulent and sweet Grenache driven wine with obvious oak quality, great structure, length and finish.
