12 bottles of Domaine Ginestières Merlot 2013.It's rare to see a French Merlot of this calibre at this price. The explanation is its provenance - the Languedoc Roussillon, "the most exciting region in France" (Sunday Times), which also provides some of the world's best value wines. But credit must also go to 'Merlot maestro' Claude Gros, who perfected his skills in Saint Emilion. Among his many successes is a now famous Merlot rich Grand Cru, Château La Fleur Morange, which scored a stratospheric 96/100 from influential wine critic Robert Parker. Having returned to his southern French roots, and Domaine Ginestières, Claude makes this majestic Merlot at an amazingly down to earth price. Enjoy its fine, dark cherry and wild herb characters with rack of lamb and roasted vegetable kebabs. You must be over 18 to buy this product.

The monks of Citeaux, on their arrival, decided to create this clos. The last acquisition dates back to 1336. It took them more than 2 centuries to make the clos as we know it. The demarcation of the clos only comes from the 14th century and the surrounding wall was probably built in the 15th century. The hand-picked harvest goes through a short prefermentary maceration first, before being vinified in part in wooden tronconic vats. After the three-week vatting period, we use a vertical press to obtain very pure high-quality juices. The...
A bright, pale yellow wine with a lively bouquet of peach and pineapple tropical fruits intermingling with touches of more savoury, mineral notes. Medium-bodied, with a vibrant, intense core of citrus and stone fruit alongside a firm mineral zip that continues through the long finish.

A little acidic, it contains aromas of liquorice, wood and very ripe fruits. Serve with: Beef Bourguignon, Game, Hard Cheeses.
