Les Cépages Merlot Vin de Pays d'Oc

An uncomplicated South of France Merlot from Baron Philippe de Rothschild — full-bodied, soft on the palate, without any rough edges.

The Rothschild family is best known for Mouton Cadet, but has also been producing Languedoc wines under the Les Cépages label for decades. The Vin de Pays d'Oc designation gives the winemaker more freedom than classic AOC rules – the result is a single-varietal Merlot that clearly reflects the grape variety.

On the nose, sour cherry and a hint of licorice. On the palate, juicy, with aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, along with a subtle spiciness in the background. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, the finish short to medium.

Ready to drink immediately. Best served at 16–17 °C, it pairs well with pasta with tomato sauce, grilled sausages, or a simple cheese board. An everyday wine for a spontaneous evening.
