This is a lovely, gentle pure merlot from an underrated merlot-based region of Bordeaux's right bank. So fine, supple...

A touch lifted and volatile with a powdery texture and drying tannins. Very good complexity and density of flavours....

Found this right-banker to be a bit lean and scrawny. The fruit is in the red spectrum and is a bit tart. A bit funky as well. Tannin seems well enough integrated and acidity is quite pronounced. Works better with food but not an especially compelling value in my view. Tasted July 2016.
