BOUTINOT CAIRANNE LES DEUX BARRIQUES 19

Boutinot’s love affair with the Southern Rhône spans thirty years of making wine in the region. In 2010, the relationship was sealed with the purchase of a winery and vineyards above the village of Cairanne. Domaine Boutinot’s seven vineyards are planted with classic southern Rhône grape varieties – old vine Grenache Noir and Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan Noir – and they all sit within the Cairanne Cru boundaries, sanctioned in 2016 when Cairanne was granted its own appellation status.

Made only when the assemblage tastings of La Côte Sauvage reveal two outstanding barrels – ‘Deux Barriques’ – that merit bottling in their own right. Vintages include the celebrated triumvirate of 2010,2011,2012, with 2015 marking the inaugural release as cru Cairanne AOC
