Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
Varietal Merlot from South-West France, the broad territory inland from Bordeaux where the same varieties grow outside the famous appellations. Soft dark plum and black cherry with a herbal, faintly earthy edge and cocoa, medium-bodied with the rounded low-grip tannin Merlot gives when it is not blended with Cabernet for structure. Approachable and unfussy rather than serious, and made for the table within a few years of the vintage.
