Ciel de Nuit Syrah is a luxurious and silky wine, bursting with fresh and bright flavours of Tapenade and Violets. Its textured and lifted mid-palate, and smooth ripe finish make it the perfect pairing for roast lamb, hearty winter soups, and grilled ribs. It'll work perfectly at the end of the meal with a tasty cheeseboard especially with mature cheeses like parmesan.

About 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. Paul Boutinot himself began by personally selecting the wines from France, back in the UK he would unload the trailer by hand. And deliver the crates of wines to customers himself. But good things grow and by the end of the decade they had become a bigger and better company. A company that not only sought out great wines but made them too. 10 years later, Boutinot France started in January 1990. The first office was in the middle of the vines in Julienas; perfectly located to navigate the Beaujolais and Macon regions on the quest to make beautiful wines.

Vineyard and Winery

The vineyards of the Coteaux des Baronnies are situated high up behind Provence in the mountains that sit above the Rhône Valley overlooking the vineyards of Côtes du Rhône Villages and Vinsobres, which are on the western edge of the appellation. It is well known for its spectacularly clear night sky, so much so that there is an observatory up there. Fortunately for us it is less known for its spectacular vineyards at high altitude and even less so for the quality of its Syrah, a varietal that is produced in small quantities up there giving wines with great freshness and concentration.

The grapes are cool fermented then gently pressed to extract crunchy dark fruit flavours.
