Boutinot 'Les Coteaux Schisteux' Seguret Cotes du Rhone Villages
An impressive, classic Séguret - about as good as Côtes du Rhône Villages gets!
Exotic spice, cracked black pepper and of vanilla aromas on the nose. The palate is instantly appealing, polished and smooth with depth and texture as the flavours swirl around, lengthen and delight.

Ratings & Awards,
The Vineyard
We prefer high altitude east-facing vineyards with stony, argillaceous
limestone terraces high above the ‘slopes of ‘slopes of schiste’ above
the pretty village of Séguret. In one such plot (planted well over fifty
years ago) we find that Grenache Noir, intermingled here and there with
some Syrah, benefits from the morning sun and even ripening
temperatures. Grapes can only be harvested by hand in this unforgiving
hillside terroir. In the cellar vinification is traditional, with a long
cuvasion using only naturally occurring wild yeasts, aided by regular
remontage to release all the potential of the grapes and their skins.
The wine is then allowed to mature for up 22 months in French oak, an
equal combination of previously filled 228l barrels and 600l demi-muids.

We've tasted this:
Big and juicy with some sweet spice, hearty and delicious.
