The “La Boutanche” label is a collaborative effort with importer Selection Massale to source tasty and affordable organic, minimalist wines from sought-after producers. Winemaker Olivier Minot is the force behind this incredible cuvée, primarily composed of gamay from Southern Beaujolais, with a bit (around 5%) of marselan and grenache. The grapes are harvested from 90 year old vines, fermented and aged in concrete tanks, and bottled with minimal sulfur. Fresh-picked cherry, raspberry, and candied strawberry flavors mingle with spicy, woody notes of black tea, tilled soil, and forest floor. Sophisticated yet totally quaffable, this is a far more serious wine than the label indicates, and in a 1L bottle, a serious value too! It’s sure to be your new go-to.
