The "Fleur Solitaire" From Boutinot is a classic white Rhone blend set to impress. Grenache Blanc 50% , Viognier 20% , Roussanne 7.5%.

Grapes for this wine come from selected vines in the Southern Rhône, picked in the cooler early hours and lightly pressed the same morning.  Each variety is fermented  separately and, after careful blending, about a quarter of the vinified wine is matured for six months in French oak barrels.  A classic white Côtes du Rhône; fresh, medium-bodied and vinous. The nose is pretty and delicate, with a waft of fennel tops and hints of hedgerow flowers. The flavours are nuanced and refined rather than overt. Careful use of oak adds texture and structure without masking the freshness of this very drinkable white.

A lovely apéritif, or with light starters and grilled fish.
