Domaine Boutinot CDR White La Fleur Sol Bout
Why this is on Broken Compass: Boutinot declare sustainable. Supplier sheet: sustainable.
What to expect
Proper white Côtes du Rhône; fresh, medium-bodied, 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.

On the table
A lovely apéritif, and delicious with lighter dishes such as grilled asparagus drizzled with olive oil and toasted almonds or a goats cheese salad. Fish and chicken are a perfect partner; especially grilled halibut or cod, or a creamy chicken dishes such as the French Poulet à l’Estragon (chicken in a tarragon sauce).
The region
Rhone, France. This pins the region, not the estate. We do not hold a precise vineyard address for this wine, so we are not showing you one.
