Croix des Vents Merlot 2022

Croix des Vents wines take their name from a compass, symbolizing the four winds, originating from the far South of France, nestled between the Mediterranean coast and the Cevennes.

In the Pays d'Oc region, the Mediterranean climate guarantees hot, dry summers, perfect for grape ripening. Meanwhile, the Montagne Noire provides humidity and cooler temperatures, resulting in grapes brimming with luscious, fruity flavors while maintaining a harmonious structure and freshness. Harvest timing is crucial to ensure optimal ripeness for each vineyard, particularly for crafting a premium Merlot. Seductive aromas of dark plum, spice, and mocha set the stage for a symphony of ripe fruit flavors, complemented by soft tannins and a hint of spice.

Pair Croix des Vents wines with grilled lamb chops or a hearty beef stew to complement their rich, fruity flavors and balanced structure. Alternatively, enjoy them with aged cheeses like Gouda or Manchego.
