Cabernet Merlot - Philibert du Charme

Cabernet Merlot from the wine-growing region of Languedoc presents itself in the glass in dense purple.

If we trace the aromatics further, cinnamon, cigar box and toasted barrique come into play.

The Cabernet Merlot already comes pretty close to that, having been vinified with just 3.3 grams of residual sugar. On the tongue, this powerful red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense texture. Due to its lively fruit acidity, the Cabernet Merlot is fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this red wine from the Languedoc wine-growing region finally inspires with good length. There are again hints of mulberry and blackberry. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the limestone and clay dominated soils are added.
