Paul Boutinot's philosophy is to make wines that are a true expression of their varietal character and perfect partners to food. Scouring France with his team of winemakers - Samantha Bailey and Eric Monnin, Paul aims to select the best vineyards, or sometimes just parcels of wine, to deliver just that. He is meticulous about the blends, tasting and re-tasting until he is completely satisfied that the wine offers the highest quality and value. Originally focussed on the Rhône, Paul, Samantha and Eric now select sites in the Loire, Burgundy and Languedoc, and aim to offer a range of wines - from elegant sparklers, to every day drinking wines through to more robust reds with wines that appeal to all those who have a love for the diversity of French varietals.

'Les Coteaux Schisteux' Seguret Cotes du Rhone is a classic Rhône wine sporting structure and finesse. Intense notes of vanilla, black cherry fruit and spice on the nose, rich morello cherry and chocolate flavours on the palate make this red wine a wonderful match for hearty meat dishes and casseroles.
