Grand Chataignier Merlot - Domaine de la Baume

The Grand Chataignier Merlot of Domaine de la Baume from the Languedoc offers a dense purple color in the glass. This varietal French wine presents in the glass wonderfully fragrant and complex notes of wild berry jam, blackberries, blueberries and mulberries. These are joined by hints of smoked meat, air-dried ham and firewood.

On the palate, Domaine de la Baume's Grand Chataignier Merlot starts wonderfully dry, grippy and aromatic. On the tongue, this punchy red wine is characterized by an immensely weighty texture. In the finish, this youthful from the wine region of the Languedoc finally inspires with good length. Once again, hints of blueberry and wild berry jam show through.
