Merlot Pays d’Oc IGP red
Les Cépages
Michel knew instinctively that Merlot would fit the bill for making a red wine that was approachable yet capable of articulating the winemaker’s own inimitable style.
The grape has a key quality in that it reacts sensitively to the manner in which it is cultivated, offering the perfect medium for Michel to express his clarity of vision. This is a delicious wine made from fruit sourced from old vines in the Gard region.

Tasting notes
This Pays d’Oc IGP red is warm and inviting on the nose, showing crisp aromas of cherry, strawberry and roasted red fruit. Notes of prune and sweet spices add a further touch of sunshine. Rich, supple and long on the palate, with a generous mouthfeel.
And the pairing?
Pairs well with dishes that are subtle but rich in flavour – like roasted poultry or duck with grilled baby vegetables.
