The French wines of Les Volets
The wines of Les Volets. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but full-bodied, very well-structured wines. Les Volets is produced by the prestigious Boutinot winery. This winery is a true multinational in the wine world. Although its home base is the southern Rhône, Boutinot can now be found in several countries on several continents. Boutinot also exports its Les Volets wines to 40 countries. So, we can safely say that Les Volets has conquered the world.
The vineyards of Les Volets
Although Les Volets' parent company is based in the Rhône, its vineyards are located much further south, in Languedoc-Roussillon. Therefore, you won't find Rhône classics like Grenache Noir and Syrah, but rather the all-rounders Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. However, this doesn't mean Les Volets' wines are dull, as less conventional grapes like Chenin Blanc and Pinot Noir are also well represented. The highlight is the vineyard full of Malbec grapes. Although this Bordeaux grape is primarily grown in Argentina, Les Volets also thrives on this powerhouse in the Languedoc-Roussillon vineyards.
