This Merlot, often called the 'essence of Claret,' offers an elegant palate of plum-berry richness and delicate tannins, culminating in a long finish. Sourced from low-yielding vines with a focus on natural inputs and minimal intervention, this wine is a testament to traditional craftsmanship. With only 2,000 bottles available, it's a limited gem. Its medium ruby color complements a bouquet of violets and rich berry notes. The wine's smooth, rounded berry flavors are harmoniously integrated with a touch of Petit Verdot, ensuring a delicate acid balance, soft tannins, and a long, juicy finish. Pair it with duck confit, veal escalopes, or puy lentils for a truly exquisite dining experience.
