"Butinage" is new 'value' tier from the Gassier family, one the larger and best producers in this Rhone appellation....
This organically produced red blend featuring grenache and mourvèdre is notably fresh and easy-drinking but also lush...
Quite thick and heady red from the Gassier family, especially considering the price, ripe and full of wood scents....
A smoky, peppery, violet-tinged, seemingly syrah-lead typical southern French blend (with grenache and mourvèdre),...

Screw cap. Unoaked blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Grenache, and 20% Mourvèdre. The medium-high intensity nose offers a lovely bouquet of dark cherry, raspberry, wild herbs, smoky minerality, garrigue, peppery spice, and subtle meaty nuances. It's medium-full bodied with rich, ripe, supple, and dusty tannins that have a subtly textured grip. Flavours of dark cherry, raspberry, licorice, peppery spice, smoky minerality, and garrigue are lifted by fresh, vibrant acidity. Finishes long and juicy with smoky mineral notes. Tasted Jan/2022.
