WINE DESCRIPTION
La Boutinière Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge is a premium red wine produced by the renowned winery La Boutinière. This wine comes from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, which is known for its exceptional terroir and ideal growing conditions for the Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvèdre grape varieties. The vineyards are situated on rocky soils with a warm and dry climate, which results in grapes with concentrated flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. The resulting wine is full-bodied, rich, and complex, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. It is a perfect wine for special occasions or for pairing with hearty dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This La Boutinière Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge is an outstanding blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvèdre grapes.It offers aromas of blackberry, raspberry, and plum, with subtle notes of black pepper, tobacco, and licorice. The body is full and round, with excellent balance between the fruit and earthy tannins. It has a long, lingering finish with a hint of spice. This is a great expression of the character of the appellation and should be enjoyed over the next five to seven years.

ORIGINS
Winery: La Boutinière
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
