Boutinot Cotes du Rhone La Fleur Solitaire Blanc 750 ML

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 crushed vanillin. The palate is instantly appealing, polished and smooth on entry but steeped in depth and texture as the flavours swirl around, lengthen and delight. The lasting impression is satisfying - a big, oppulent and sweet Grenache driven wine with obvious oak quality, great structure, length and finish. \n \n Producer Information \n It’s not just this shared passion for people that makes us different but our total and unwavering belief that making great entry-level wines is bloody difficult, but we do it bloody well.
