Jean Leon 3055 Merlot-Petit Verdot

Jean Leon 3055 Merlot-Petit Verdot shows fine notes of sweetly ripened, also candied red fruits (cherries, berries) in the bouquet, before soft roasted and spice aromas, which the short barrique aging gives it. Taste: on the palate simultaneously soft and powerful with the fine candied fruit and spice of the bouquet and elegant, softly ripened tannin, which gives the wine a wonderful length in the finish.

The grapes for Jean Leon Merlot are harvested from the beginning of September at optimal ripeness, brought immediately to the winery, and fermented here within three weeks at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. After about 15 days of maceration, during which they extract a lot of color, dense aromas, and soft tannin from the berry skins, the wines are then carefully drawn off and laid to mature for five months in 225-liter French oak barriques - before they are bottled at the end of April and released for sale after another short rest period. Soil: moist limestone and clay soils on a limestone bedrock.
