From the Mediterranean climate of Languedoc comes a Merlot that embodies pure elegance. This 2022 French De La Rougerie Merlot is made from grapes planted on clay and limestone hillsides which rounds out its bold blend. The climate where this Merlot’s grapes are grown maintains hot, dry summers and frostbitten winters, encouraging late ripeness. The Tramontane, a strong wind, dries the vines, which prevents them from disease while providing the perfect climate for them to thrive. The weather in France’s Southern Region allows winemakers to bring out the best in the 2021 De La Rougerie Merlot. Enjoy this decadent, velvet Merlot with red meats, cheeses, and hearty pasta dishes.
