It’s said that you can sense a winemaker in their wine: if a wine is stuffy and inaccessible, so too might be the winemaker. So when we tasted Bastien Boutereaud’s raw, vivacious and complex wine, we weren’t surprised in the slightest—he’s so hands off we’re not sure when he’s hands on!

This is one of the most invigorating reds we’ve drunk this year! Paradoxically so much substance in an otherwise delicate frame. Drink cool!
