This Merlot has an intense garnet color with bright violet reflections. The nose reveals great complexity, combining quality wood with the grape variety’s well-presented notes. Several aromas of ripe fruits stand out. The mouth is well-structured, full-bodied and harmonious. The aftertaste is rich in varietal aromas with well-integrated tannins and a long, tasty finish.<\/p>\n
The recommended serving temperature is between 16\u00b0C and 20\u00b0C<\/p>\n
The analytical data shows an alcohol content of 14.5%, total acidity of 6.1 g\/L, pH of 3.56, volatile acidity of 0.63 g\/L, non-reducing extract of 28.7 g\/L and reducing sugars of 5.0 g\/L.<\/p>\n
The Merlot vineyards were planted more than a decade ago in clay-limestone soils from the Jurassic period with a southwest-facing sun exposure. The average yield of the vineyards is 30hl\/ha.<\/p>\n
The harvest takes place in early September at the peak of grape ripeness. The harvest is manual with rigorous selection. After total destemming, fermentation takes place over 16 days in a stainless steel wine press with a treading system and temperature control. This is followed by 18 days of maceration and malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously in stainless steel.<\/p>\n
The wine was aged in French Allier oak barrels for 15 months. 10,000 bottles were filled and then spent another 12 months in the bottle.<\/p>\n
It is at its peak of evolution until 2025 and should be consumed in appropriate glasses between 16\u00b0C and 20\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
