Producer
Our winemaking team have been building realationships across Chile over the past two decades, sourcing fruit and wine from across the Central Valleys. We work with a number of small family growers who pay particular attention to quality and ensure that our winemaking team has the best possible fruit to work with . Freshness and purity are the preferred hallmarks of Boutinot's Chilean wines.
Each vintage Boutinot winemaker Guillaume Letang travels the vineyards of our grower partners, blending that year's truest expression's of Chile's unique terroirs.
Production
Our Pinot Noir comes from a small Hacienda in Maule. The 40-60-year-old vines grow in the shadow of the El Dezcabazado volcano on stony, fertile soils. Maule is in the south of the region where glacial streams and pure mountain air keep temperatures low, allowing Pinot Noir to retain the acidity that is so crucial to a balanced wine. Grapes are harvested during the coolest part of the day to ensure they reach the winery in prime condition. Temperatures are kept low throughout the winemaking process, to allow the grapes to express their natural fruit characters. No oak is used.

Production
We source our Cabernet fruit from the Colchagua Valley which sits in the middle of Chile’s main central valley. Colchagua is widely regarded as one of the best locations for red varieties in Chile and many illustrious wineries are based here. The warm, Mediterranean type climate suits Cabernet really well, allowing it to ripen fully, late into the season. A cool short fermentation to preserve fruit aroma and maceration on the skins for only a few days to extract nice colour but minimal tannins. No oak is used. Early bottling to keep the wine's youthful style. We love the pure, blackcurrant characteristics which are always so present in our Cabernet blend.

Production

Producer
Nieto Senetiner has grown to become one of the leading stars of Mendoza. Although the vineyards and winery were founded by Italian immigrants and date back to 1888, they were acquired by the Nieto and Senetiner families in 1969.
Nieto has some 400 hectares of vineyards in virtually all of the best sub-districts of Mendoza from which it produces classic and modern wines characterised by the uniquely appealing balance of power and finesse that defines the best wines of the region. The top wines come from very old vineyards in the famed sub-district of Agrelo, and are fully deserving of their status.
Since joining the estate, winemaker Santiago Mayorga has taken the wines to another level and was named 'Young Winemaker of the Year 2017' by Tim Atkin.
Sustainability
Nieto Senetiner have a deep commitment to regenerating the soil, reducing the use of pesticides and strengthening the communities at their facilities and vineyards. Their Don Nicanor brand is moving to Organic production and they have been audited and passed the Argentine Winery Sustainability Protocol with Villa Blanca, Vistalba Estate and Las Torcazas Estate now certified. The grapes grown here are used for the Nieto Senetiner Malbec DOC and Don Nicanor wines. They will continue this process and go on to certify 100% of their estates and wineries.
This protocol has been collaboratively developed and adapted for Argentinian winemaking from the California Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Workbook. This provides educational and awareness tools to increase the application of sustainable practices in vineyards and wineries and consists of a self-evaluation of their vineyards – soils, canopy management, irrigation, study of climatic variables, etc. – to determine practices that can be improved upon. Water consumption (in cubic metres consumed per month) is also tracked and recorded in the winery's sustainability report. For Nieto Senetiner, sustainability isn’t just an environmental concept though, it’s sustained on four fundamental pillars: ethics and business transparency, economic development, the health and wellbeing of the community, and community development.
To fight vineyard pests and diseases Nieto Senetiner uses environmentally-friendly treatments, several of which are permitted in organic agriculture. It is registered in the ISCAMEN Agro-Clean Programme in which empty plastic agrochemical containers, previously washed and destroyed, are safely recycled. They have implemented practices such as vegetable coverage to conserve the microbiota and microfauna of the soil. The use of drip irrigation systems to preserve water is a key means of managing a scarce resource, especially in Mendoza.
For grapes supplied by contracted growers, each year Nieto Senetiner provides a manual of good agricultural practices listing the preferred agrochemicals to use to treat each pest and disease. This includes the time that these compounds take to break down so that grapes arrive at the winery without any chemical residue. Growers are also given sustainability guidelines to which they should adhere, and they are requested to document and record any treatments made during the growing season.
Bottle weights have been reduced to help lower the carbon footprint of the wine.

2025 Bazar Pinot Noir Gewurztraminer Blouge
Regular price £11.99 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 117): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Two grape-filled trailers one red, one white, one chaotic winery and an inevitable oops... et voilà - Quel Bazar! A happy accident turned liquid masterpiece. This collision created Blouge, a juicy, aromatic, unexpected wine with a little wild side - because the best things in life aren't predictable.

Red cherry notes from the Pinot Noir meet with lychee and tropical fruit notes from the Gewurztraminer to create a flavour that's both charming and enjoyable. Juicy and aromatic with refreshing acidity.

Production
Blouge' is a combination of 'Blanc' and 'Rouge'. For Bazar, Pinot Noir and Gewurztraminer co-fermented to make a wine that's fun, bright, and bouncy
Producer
We had one simple job back in 1990; to make sure that the quality of the wine we had started to vinify, bottle, and label ourselves was delicious … oh, and commercial enough for our customers. Paul Boutinot had already started to find those growers, negotiants, courtiers who could find us the grapes and cuvées that helped us produce a bottle of wine that we’d all enjoy drinking and selling.
He kept their addresses and telephone numbers in a blue box. Thank God we took a picture.
But we needed someone on the ground, out there in France, so Jane Hunt MW put the word out (no recruitment consultants, no Indeed) and someone told us about someone working in the marketing department of the Wine Society but who had an amazing palate and could “find finesse and complexity” in any wine she tasted. That person is Samantha Bailey. Her interview was “held” over the kitchen sink (no posh spittoons then) with small bottles comprising different tanks, and she put about blending them. She passed.
So, Sam left for France, on her own, with Paul’s blue box and Deb’s redundant textbook.
We couldn’t afford an office so she “cuckooed” in the offices of Jacques Depagneux, a grower in the heart of Beaujolais. We imported his wines (remember Chateau de Lacarelle Beaujolais Villages? A decent drop.) Instinctively, Sam would answer the phone “Bonjour, Maison Boutinot … “ and it went from there.
Now 35 years on, Sam’s still fussing over finding, blending and bottling our French wines with Guillaume Letang. Luckily, we’ve now got an office, still situated in the Beaujolais region. It’s called Boutinot France.
Sustainability
Maison Boutinot wines are sourced from across France. As part of this sourcing process we not only look for outstanding quality from our grower partners, but where possible we source from sustainably certified vineyards. Many of the Maison Boutinot wines have HVE Level 3 Certification. This recognises a high level of commitment to protecting and enriching the environment with the focus on biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategy, management of fertiliser use and management of water. Alongside this, some of the wines are formerly certified Organic.
