This luscious French blend of Marselan and Merlot showcases the best of both varietals. The Marselan brings structure and complexity while the Merlot adds elegance and grace. Experience a symphony of juicy cherry, hints of plum and dark blackberry all balanced by subtle notes of vanilla and spice. The tannins are velvety yet structured providing a smooth, rich mouthfeel. This wine embodies the Mediterranean terroir taking you on a journey through Southern France with every sip.
The Languedoc has a long history of winemaking that dates back to Roman times. It is located in southern France and is one of the largest wine regions in the world. This sunny region is situated along the French Mediterranean coast. The vineyards benefit from the Mediterranean climate with many hours of warm sunshine, cool nights from the sea breezes and minimal rainfall. They are known for their plentiful land with soil ranging from limestone to rocky sand and thick clay, making it an ideal place to grow premium grapes. It is home to the relatively new and exciting grape varietal Marselan that is a cross between Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon.
This wine’s signature food pairing is beef bourguignon but it’s also a great match for ratatouille with fresh bread, or aged gouda.
