B&G Reserve Merlot 2020 (France)

B&G Reserve Merlot 2020 (France)

  • Strawberry & blackberry
  • Coffee
  • Round structure
  • Silky tannins

"Aromas of rustic red plums and old cherry compote, dried flowers and mild wood spice complexity. Dry on the palate with firm tannins and a core of fruit with flavours that reflect the bouquet along with the dried flower suggestions. An English tea and vanilla spice layer, warming alcohol and medium+ acidity. Best drinking from today and through 2024, decant for service with food" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jun 2022

"Delightfully ripe and fragrant, the wine shows blackcurrant, sweet plum, dried herb and warm spice aromas, leading to a flavoursome palate that's succulent and rounded. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2022

This Merlot is a brilliant garnet red colour, The nose reveals nice aromas of ripe fruits (strawberry, blackberry) with delicate coffee notes. Harmonious and elegant on the palate, offering a round structure, full of red and black berries.

Languedoc Roussillon (750 000 acres) along the Mediterranean sea. Blend of wines coming from the Herault area (49%), the Aude area (6%) and the Gard area (45%). Coming from different regions of the Languedoc (The Aude, the Herault and the Gard) where each offers a different type of soil (schist, marls, chalk and clay). The hot and windy Mediterranean climate, along with the interesting diversity in the soils of these 3 areas, result in powerful and fruity wines.

Optimum ripeness of the grapes - de-stalking and crushing of the grapes – a part of the harvest benefits from a “flash détente” process to enhance an optimum level of color and fruity aromas – the other part follow a traditional alcoholic fermentation in vats with 2 rack and return per day. Long maceration (3 weeks) with micro oxygenation before malolactic fermentation in vats to develop the color and to supple the tannins.

Food Pairing: red meat, poultry, pasta and cheese.
