Les Jamelles, Merlot, Rouge, 2025
Presentation
- Balance and typicity, a blend of wines hailing from 5 terroirs.
- Areas on the plain for richness and length, on the coast for crispness and on slopes for roundness.
- A typical expression of this fruity, round, complex, elegant varietal.
Terroir
To obtain a wine with perfect balance that is typical of its varietal, the grapes are selected from five terroirs: the flatlands in the environs of Narbonne and the Aude River plain lend richness, length and structure; those along the coastal region near Béziers, opulence and freshness; while the vines located on the slopes of the Orb Valley and the Herault’s Valley mid-slope vineyards contribute roundness, velvety tannins and freshness to the final blend.
Winemaking
Maceration lasts 2 to 4 weeks.
Ageing
A portion of the cuvée is oak aged – 2/3 French and 1/3 American – for added complexity. A small portion of the cuvée is crafted using thermovinification to boost fruitiness, roundness and suppleness.
