Vintage 2023
Languedoc-Roussillon, France.
This specific Merlot comes from various chalky-clay terroirs, as it needs regular watering. Indeed, clay retains and provides water during the summer. The vineyard are also selected according to sun exposure, as Merlot needs enough sunlight to reach full ripeness.
A small part of the crop goes through hot skin contact maceration in order to support the fruity aromas. The majority of the grapes are de-stemmed and sent through a traditional maceration and fermentation process for about three weeks. This long process is ideal to extract the variety’s specific character and get a good structure with supple tannins. About 30% of the blend is aged in contact with French oak staves, adding complexity to the blend.
Dark ruby red, the Merlot displays lovely cassis and raspberry flavours to the nose. The mouth will be slightly spicy with oaky notes and full of fruit. The lingering finish will offer peppery notes.
