Vintage Report

The 2024 growing season was calm and peaceful, thanks to abundant sunshine and fresh winds. This resulted in a fantastic harvest where the ripe Merlot grapes developed optimal aromas and flavors.

Not just any glass of Merlot wine, but one with depth and a unique style—that's what this Guillaume represents. But according to the winemaker, it all begins in the beautiful old vineyards in the heart of the Pays d'Oc wine region. The old vineyard, filled with Merlot grapes, produces a ripe and full harvest. But that requires hard work, with extensive pruning and tilling the soil demanding careful attention. Thanks to the abundant sunshine and fresh breeze, the Merlot growing season is calm and peaceful. This translates into a fantastic harvest, with the ripe Merlot grapes imparting their beautiful aromas and flavors to this Guillaume red wine.

The harvest of the Merlot grapes

Harvesting on time is crucial for Merlot, otherwise the final wine will be too fruity. Well, leave that to Guillaume's winemakers, who have extensive experience crafting the finest French Merlot wines. Harvest always takes place early in the morning, when the sun isn't yet shining brightly. This is precisely when the grapes are cool enough to be carefully brought in. This prevents damage to the bunches, and they are rigorously inspected upon arrival. The final juice is exquisite, and the entire wine matures for several months in Guillaume's cellars.

The aroma and taste of the Guillaume Merlot

What a soft, refined wine this Guillaume Merlot is! It possesses all the beautiful characteristics of a top-class Merlot from the southern Languedoc region. This is where the grapes grow, with ample sunshine and a gentle breeze providing depth and ripeness. On the nose, this Guillaume offers hints of sultry cherries and berries, with a hint of marzipan and vanilla. The taste is typical Merlot, soft and creamy with abundant fruit such as blackberries, cherries, and strawberries. The finish is smooth and uncomplicated.
