Merlot
Grands Terroirs

> Silver medal at the "Mondial du Merlot" 2017

Variety of preference in Bordeaux, the Merlot found its place in Switzerland, in particular on the hillsides of Auvernier. Of this terroir, it pulls its aromas and its fruitiness reveals a magnificent aromatic pallet supported by smooth tannins.

This Merlot, fruit of 14 months maturing oak barrels of various toasting intensities, represents our will to innovate. The Merlot is still very rare in our region. Benefiting from the unique Terroir of the parcel "Les Grand-Vignes" this Merlot expresses itself by notes of plums, new leather and spices.

A unique micro-climate for an unique Merlot which will surprise you by its exceptional aromatic intensity as well as its silky tannins in mouth.

Tasting Notes

Eye

A deep violet color, with very slight purple borders. An high color intensity giving evidence of the phenolic maturity and the quality of the grapes. Brilliance accompanied by fluid tears.

Nose

A very steady aromatic intensity, made of extremely ripe red berries, even candied. Aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, blackberries and plum punctuated by a touch of new leather and spices.

Mouth

A fruity and soft attack followed by a deep and rich middle mouth. Smooth tannins which bring a charming finale, round and persistent.
