MAISON CASTEL GRANDE RESERVE MERLOT

A typical Bordeaux grape variety, Merlot benefits from a Mediterranean climate in the Pays d'Oc, allowing it to assert its fleshy, fruity character. Maison Castel selects the best plots from a Terra Vitis-certified partner in the Aude department.

The cool nights in the Minervois area mean that the grapes ripen later, bringing tension and freshness to this cuvée.

The traditional vinification process also follows precise specifications, with maceration and gentle extraction lasting 4 to 5 weeks to obtain the best expression of the grape variety.

Ageing, following malolactic fermentation, then refines the tannins and develops the aromatic complexity. The result is an elegant wine combining varietal character and minerality.
