Notes
Since its inception, Cuvée Jean-Paul has formed the backbone of our company and set Paul Boutinot aside as a winemaker of note. Sales have grown year on year since its introduction in 1982 and after over 25 years of production and continuing success, Cuvée Jean-Paul remains Boutinot’s biggest selling house-wine in the UK. Each year, selected cuvées from the south and west of France are blended to produce wines that have elegance and flavour.
Producer Details
In the vineyard
The rolling hills between the scattered medieval towns and villages of Gascony are predominately white wine country. Designated Pays de Gascogne in 1982, it was to here that Boutinot was drawn to source his white wines from the locally grown Colombard and Ugni Blanc grape varieties. Vines are trained using the Guyot system and vigorous grape selection is used to capture the fresh aromotics and flavour of this Blanc de Blancs from the southwest province of Gascony.
In the winery
On delivery to the cellar, the grapes are cooled by gas (CO2), undergo maceration pelliculaire for 6-15 hours, then pneumatique pressing, and debourbage a froid. Alcoholic fermentation is started by cultured yeast and once fermentation is complete, the wine is conserved on the lees to retain maximum freshness. The Demi-Sec has a softer, more rounded palate than the Sec which is due to an additional 2g/l residual sugar.
