The southern Rhône has always been a source of inspiration for Boutinot. Belles Lettres is a category of writing in French, originally meaning beautiful or fine writing. Winemaker Eric Monnin likens it to the way he makes his wines; crafting something of pure beauty. A writer of Belles Lettres is a 'belletrist’.

Boutinot select from plots in the best villages in the Côtes du Rhône for our assemblage. Vineyards are mostly chalky-clay soil with a heavy overlay of rounded limestone pebbles (galets roulés). Following a fifteen-day cuvaison, with délestage to gently extract colour and flavour, Grenache Noir is blended with Syrah and matured without oak.

75% Granache & 25% Syrah. This Côtes du Rhône Villages is concentrated and full flavoured with bramble fruit flavours from the Grenache Noir and a savoury spice on the finish.

The perfect accompaniment to comfort foods like macaroni and cheese, or fish and chips. This wine would really shine alongside a burger (be it beef or vegetarian) with blue cheese and triple-cooked chips.
