General Details

Gentleman Vigneron, Merlot – Bordeaux rouge

MERLOT: Merlot grown in Bordeaux is by nature a very fruity and gourmand grape variety. So this Merlot wine will give everything you need : tannins, ripe fruit aromas, long finish, tons of pleasure… What is best than a group of friends, a nice bottle of wine, salted crakers on a wooden plate in a sunny garden… Nothing! Cheers !
