80% Merlot, 20% cabernet sauvignon. This is a charming wine, with really good fruiting, plump for the vintage, plenty of pleasure.

Blend of 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from winemaker Vincent Cacheau. Oak aged, rich summery red fruits, no harsh edges. Impressive.

Quite fruity, soft, extraction clearly undertaken very gently, as the resulting wine is not too tannic. Quality winemaker Daniel Mouty has worked well with the vintage here, producing an enjoyable 100% Merlot wine.

Organic wine. Medium-weight in colour and texture, from a blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc. Michel Gonet has produced here a gentle wine that works with the 2011 vintage – a good pizza or pasta wine. 13% alcohol.
