WINE DESCRIPTION
Boutinot La Fleur Solitaire Côtes du Rhône is a carefully crafted white wine that captures the essence of the Rhône region. Made primarily from Grenache Blanc, it’s skillfully blended with Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne, Bourboulenc, and Clairette to achieve a harmonious balance. Each parcel of grapes is harvested separately in the cool morning hours and gently pressed to preserve freshness. Fermentation takes place at low temperatures, mostly in stainless steel, with about a third aged in oak, some of it new, for added complexity. The result is a high-quality wine that embodies precision and finesse, perfect for any occasion
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Boutinot La Fleur Solitaire Côtes du Rhône offers a vibrant and expressive profile.Aromas of ripe orchard fruits, such as pear and apple, mingle with subtle floral notes and a hint of citrus zest. On the palate, it’s well-rounded and refreshing, with a pleasing balance of creamy texture and crisp acidity. Gentle oak influence adds a touch of spice and a delicate nuttiness without overshadowing the bright fruit character. The finish is clean and lingering, leaving impressions of stone fruits and a whisper of herbal undertones. A versatile and elegant white wine that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes.

ORIGINS
Winery: Boutinot
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
