Merlot, although its origin is probably French, can be considered an international grape because it is also grown\u00a0in Italy, Switzerland and in many other regions throughout the world. Present in Geneva for several decades, it is particularly\u00a0well adapted to our climate. It gives tannic wines, but more muted than the Cabernets. Generally quite intensely coloured, it shows beautiful shades of red and purple. Merlot behaves well both to normal vinification in vats or to barrel aging. Our Merlot is aged in oak casks to fully develop its bouquet of complex wood aromas , but also to somewhat mellow the tannins.<\/p>\n

Tasting:<\/strong>
\nBouquet: Fresh with a mix of red and black fruits.
\nPalate: The taste is full bodied, with the tannins still very present, especially in young wine.<\/p>\n

\nLeg of lamb, grilled pork ribs, beef ribs, wild hare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":33588,"template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"Description:<\/strong>\nLe Merlot, m\u00eame si son origine est probablement fran\u00e7aise peut \u00eatre consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme un c\u00e9page international car il est \u00e9galement cultiv\u00e9 en Italie, en Suisse et dans de nombreuses autres r\u00e9gions du monde.
