Product information "Val Du Charron Reserve Merlot 2020"
Aromas of black cherries, cherry stone and fragrant raspberry dominate the seductive bouquet of the Val Du Charron Merlot, paired with fine notes of nutmeg, tobacco, chocolate and mocha on the nose. Medium-bodied, this Merlot is extremely elegant with velvety and soft tannins on the palate.

The grapes for this Merlot were hand-picked at optimal maturity and then cooled down overnight. The next morning, the grapes were destemmed and lightly crushed into stainless steel conical tanks, where the alcoholic fermentation was completed using carefully selected Bordeaux yeast. The wine was then transferred to the press, after which it was filled into stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation. The wine then matured for 12 months in a combination of Flexcubes and French barriques. Before bottling, the wine was slightly refined.
