Belles Du Sud Merlot

Belles Du Sud Merlot from Languedoc, France. On the nose fresh red fruits (cherries, strawberries) and spices with a slightly vegetal tone typical of the cépage. On the palate pleasantly round and fruity, with soft tannins.

Merlot is one of the oldest Vitis vinifera varieties that ripens earlier than Carbernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Merlot is important in Bordeaux, especially in Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Merlot plantings have increased significantly in recent years. The grape is very popular worldwide and people are increasingly realizing that Merlot must be planted in a fairly cool vineyard. This grape produces dark, cool, soft, spicy and fruity wines.
