When the harvest is ripe, the bunches are brought in early in the morning under the supervision of the winemaker at Les Garrigues. This is done to protect the Merlot grapes during transport and also prevents oxidation due to the warm afternoon temperatures. Once arrived at Les Garrigues, the Merlot bunches are thoroughly inspected, and only the finest are used in this red wine. The juice is thus pure and priceless. This is followed by aging in temperature-controlled barrels, making this Merlot fuller and more powerful.
Created for softness and freshness, it certainly succeeded! The moment you smell this Les Garrigues Merlot, you think of ripe fruit notes of blackberries, currants, and sweet cherries. But also hints of mocha and a hint of pomegranate. The taste is so soft, it's unparalleled, like a down comforter! Beautiful flavors of the Merlot grape, such as small red berries and herbs, are evident. This Les Garrigues has a harmonious finish. Simply a superb glass of red wine from the Languedoc-Roussillon region.
