Domaine Boutinot Les Deux Barriques Cairanne Rhône valley Limited Release Wooden Box 750mL

Domaine Boutinot “Les Deux Barriques” Cairanne is a rare, limited-release red wine from the AOP Cairanne appellation in the Southern Rhône valley of France, crafted by winemaker Eric Monnin.

Made only when our assemblage tastings of La Côte Sauvage reveal two outstanding barrels.
Made from low-yielding old vine Grenache and Carignan Noir, with Syrah and Mourvèdre grown in the hills above the village of
Cairanne in the southern Rhône Valley.
Hand-picked grapes are vinified only by naturally occuring yeasts, aided by manual pigeage and gentle remontage in open topped
oak vats (tronconique). Les Deux Barriques is matured for up to 24 months in French oak demi-muids (600 litre barrels); the
wine is neither fined or filtered before bottling at Domaine Boutinot
in Cairanne.
The hallmark of ‘Les Deux Barriques’ is finesse not power. Explosive aromas and flavours of astonishingly ripe red fruits
interlaced with mocha and seductively sweet oaky nuances crescendo in an enticingly smooth and silky palate of intricacy and
surprising delicacy.
