Boutinot 2017 La Côte Sauvage Cairanne

Cairanne, Southern Rhône, France

Cairanne received appellation status in 2016, raising it above its previous Côtes du Rhône Villages designation due to the quality of its wines and terroir. Matured for 22 months in French oak, this blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre is rich and intense with soft tannins. Fragrant aromas lead to flavours of cherry and blueberry. Drink it now with hearty meals, such as duck cassoulet.
