Montagnac Merlot 2011 / 2012

£6.99

Old World Merlot. Well balanced, silky and complex with lovely perfumed black cherry aromas and a note of dark chocolate. A whiff of grass mingles well with the flavours of ripe black fruit, blueberry and hints of caramel.

100% Merlot. 13% abv. 75cl

My favourite Merlot. Deep flavours, lovely to drink and absolutely delicious.

I just wanted to email you to tell you how much we are enjoying both your Montagnac Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines. They are so smooth, fruity and so easy to drink. Fortunately we have our preferences which makes life very easy by cutting down any disputes that could arise.

Description

Montagnac Merlot comes from the co-operative Les Vignobles Montaganc located between Beziers and Montpellier in the Languedoc Roussillon. The co-operative was built in Montagnac in 1937 and the vineyards stretch from the banks of Thau Lagoon to the foothills of the mountains on the right bank of the River Hérault where the ancient river bed stones are similar to those of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. These "Marine" vineyards on the edge of the Thau Lagoon are amongst the oldest on the Mediterranean; they are crossed by the Roman highway – the Via Domitienne and are close to the historic ports of Sète and Agde.

Montagnac Merlot is a dark garnet colour and pairs very well with Asian cuisine - from rich Chinese dishes to Indian curries as well as grilled lamb, pork and steak, stroganoffs and tomato based dishes.

This held my interest right the way through an easy mid-week meal of herby sausage and tomato sauce topping a pile of steaming pasta. Good concentration but again, easy drinking, with soft black fruits, chocolate and coffee complexity. A good pleasing finish. Alcohol 13%.
