Merlot

Origin

The grapes for this wine come from four terroirs: the area of Nîmes which gives complex notes, the eastern Aude valley which lends elegance, the Béziers plain which brings richness and the western Aude region.

Vinification

Relatively long maceration. Part of the cuvée undergoes carbonic maceration. 6- to 9-months ageing in oak barrels for a part of the blend, the remaining is aged in stainless steel vats.

Tasting notes

Dark robe. Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry, peat, cinnamon, thyme. Round, rich and long palate with ripe tannins.

Wine and Food

Enjoy with chicken with ratatouille, stuffed tomatoes, lentils with salt pork.

Serving suggestions

Serve at 17°C.
