Maison Boutinot Les Cerisiers Rosé Côtes du Rhône 2024

Maison Boutinot Les Cerisiers Côtes du Rhône Rosé 2024 is a refined and expressive rosé that beautifully captures the elegance of the southern Rhône. The wine is crafted from carefully selected regional grape varieties, including Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault, which together create a harmonious balance between fruity freshness and aromatic complexity. The result is a wine that is both approachable and layered, appealing to those who enjoy a subtle yet characterful rosé.

In the glass, Les Cerisiers shows a clear salmon-pink hue that draws attention. The nose is delicate and refined, offering a bouquet of rosehip, wildflowers, and fresh cherries, subtly complemented by red berry notes such as raspberry and redcurrant. This aromatic profile gives the wine a playful and inviting character, with the fruity freshness beautifully supporting the floral nuances. A light hint of spice adds further complexity without overpowering the wine’s finesse.

On the palate, the wine is elegant and well balanced. The ripe fruit is immediately apparent, with juicy cherries and berries taking center stage. At the same time, a gentle acidity provides liveliness and structure, giving the wine refreshing energy and a long, smooth finish. The texture is fine and soft, with a pleasant mouthfeel that extends the aromas and emphasizes the harmony of the blend.

The production of Les Cerisiers focuses on preserving purity and freshness. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and gently pressed to retain maximum aromatic expression. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks, ensuring the fruit character remains intact. After fermentation, the wine is briefly aged on its fine lees, adding subtle complexity and a gentle roundness.

Maison Boutinot Les Cerisiers Côtes du Rhône Rosé 2024 is a prime example of a modern Rhône rosé: refined, aromatic, and harmonious, showcasing the full expression of the grape varieties and the southern Rhône region.
