Belles Lettres (Cotes du Rhone) 2021 Rouge AOP

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’.

Soft, smooth and appealingly fruity; good Côtes du Rhône should be a crowd-pleaser. This is full-flavoured and rich with a hint of savoury spice on the finish, typical of well-sunned Grenache which dominates the blend.

Really easy drinking, this wine can be enjoyed on its own. It's a great accompaniment to a summer BBQ: sausages, grilled halloumi, and burgers.

Belles Lettres (Cotes du Rhone) 2021 Villages Rouge AOP

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.
