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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe kept their addresses and telephone numbers in a blue box. Thank God we took a picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, Sam left for France, on her own, with Paul’s blue box and Deb’s redundant textbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSustainability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaison 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"height: 402.087px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.8659%; height: 22px;\"\u003eYear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.8131%; height: 22px;\"\u003e2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.8659%; height: 22px;\"\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.8131%; height: 22px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.8659%; height: 22px;\"\u003eCultivar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.8131%; height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePinot Noir 80%, Gewurztraminer 20%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.8659%; height: 22px;\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.8131%; height: 22px;\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.8659%; height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAlcohol content\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.8131%; height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e13% alc vol \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.8659%; height: 22px;\"\u003eUnits of Alcohol per Bottle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.8131%; height: 22px;\"\u003e9.75 units\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.8659%; height: 22px;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.8131%; height: 22px;\"\u003eRed Wine (Chillable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.8659%; height: 22px;\"\u003eCellaring Potential\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.8131%; height: 22px;\"\u003eAwaiting info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.8659%; height: 22px;\"\u003eAllergen Information\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.8131%; height: 22px;\"\u003eContains sulphites\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 27.6875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.8659%; height: 27.6875px;\"\u003eDietary Information\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.8131%; height: 27.6875px;\"\u003eVegan, Vegetarian, sustainable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 156.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 43.8659%; height: 156.8px;\"\u003eFood Matches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.8131%; height: 156.8px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven more enjoyable lightly chilled, this wine pair perfectly with Asian dishes like sticky plum duck or a fragrant Thai curry.
