Les Oliviers Grenache Cinsault Rose

Introduction to the winE

Les Oliviers Grenache Cinsault Rose is a serious southern French rose with character and finesse to be proud of!

Bottle notes

Les Oliviers Grenache Cinsault Rose is a pale salmon pink in the glass with delicate aromas of meadow flowers and on the palate  it has a textured mouthfeel with tangy berry flavours that meld with the satisfying spicy notes from Cinsault.

Olive groves (‘Oliviers’ in French) and vineyards flourish side-by-side in the sun-drenched Mediterranean summers of southern France, where the Grenache and Cinsault grape varieties have been made into rosé wine for over 2,000 years. The two varieties meld together to make a rosé which is at once exuberantly fresh and tangy yet soft and smooth, laced with a gentle spice and brimming with the natural richness of ripe fruit.

The producer

Like all good stories, that of Boutinot France is both long and a little bit complicated! Boutinot began as a tiny importer in 1980, specialising in French wines. After 10 years, business had grown and Samantha Bailey packed her bags to set up an office in Burgundy. Today, Boutinot’s French office has over twenty employees who take care of production across the whole of France, covering fresh whites and rosés from Gascony, mineral wines from Burgundy, and joyful varietal wines from Languedoc among others. They don’t use any single model to source our wines; instead, a combination of sources are used, from large-scale, high-quality co-ops to small, family growers and single domaines, as well as our own vineyards in Cairanne and Saint-Véran. Drawing on the expertise of  four winemakers and a network of partner growers, they seek to deliver the highest quality-to-price ratio possible for every wine.

Food pairing

Best served chilled, this rosé is ideal for lunchtime with Mediterranean cuisine.
