MERLOT
LANGUEDOC-ROUSSILLON, VIN DE PAYS D’OC, FRANCE
Merlot 100%
COLOUR:
Deep ruby with violet hues
AROMAS:
Aromas of red fruits such as strawberries and raspberries; this Merlot displays hints of green pepper on the nose
PALATE:
Juicy and full-bodied on the palate, with red fruit flavours continuing from the aromas on the nose. Côte Lavande Merlot is a wonderfully balanced and soft wine with a beautiful, long finish
AGEING POTENTIAL:
A fine wine in its youth, this wine will continue to improve over the next 3 to 4 years
BACKGROUND:
A ‘tip of the hat’ to the light-hearted, forward thinking style of the late 1920’s, inspired by the bright, vibrant Art Deco travel posters of the time, Côte Lavande will take you back to those very days of sunshine, travel and carefree decadence. Bringing that philosophy to a classic range of Southern French wines, produced by the enigmatic Château Canet estate in the Languedoc, Côte Lavande embodies all that is fun in life
FOOD MATCH:
A wonderful match with grilled red meats and vegetables
