The basis for the powerful Merlot Vin de Pays d'Oc from the Languedoc are grapes from the grape variety Merlot. The grapes grow near the rivers in the Languedoc. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of clay and sand. Due to the moderating influence of the nearby river, the grapes ripen more slowly and develop more aromatic complexity. After the grape harvest, the grapes reach the winery by the fastest route. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in the cellar at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by aging .
