2016 Cairanne La Cote Sauvage Cotes du Rhone Boutinot Magnum

The cru of Cairanne lies in the heart of the Southern Rhone valley, north east of Orange. For this La Cote Sauvage, fully ripe Grenache and Syrah grapes are hand picked from old bush vines on selected hillside slopes within Cairanne. La Cote Sauvage is matured for 22 months in mostly old French oak barrels to develop great concentration, complexity and finesse in the wine.

Rich, savoury and meaty - lovely! Intense morello cherry fruit and a touch of spice on the nose, ripe berry, liquorice and a hint of cinnamon spice on the palate, this wine is full flavoured, rich and smooth with supple tannins. Perfect match for red meat dishes and rich stews.
