Vincent Bouquet Merlot
IGP Pays d'Oc
The 'Vincent' name gets its origin from the Saint Vincent, which is the celebration of the winemakers. "Bouquet" is an international term to recall the best from aromas. The cellar master Vincent Bouquet selects for its pleasure consumption the barrels matching its taste. He gives his references on the labels of the bottles. This grape collection is as fruity as the southern flavours: red fruits, smooth spices, and minty notes. A sense of freshness and lightness given by the aromas of the « garrigue ».
Merlot
16°C
The vineyards border the Mediterranean shoreline, in the area around Béziers. They enjoy a hot, humid climate which promotes development of aroma in the grapes during ripening, producing a varied range of wine profiles.
The utmost care is lavished on vineyard management and the health of the fruit. Two types of pruning are used: the Cordon de Royat and Guyot system.
The grapes are harvested by machine based on a strict selection process where the ripeness of each plot is taken into account. The fruit is entirely destemmed before fermentation, which takes place in stainless steel tanks with particular attention paid to fermentation temperatures and pumping over to produce fine tannins and good fruitiness.
Garnet-hued with purple-blue tints. Nose of ripe red fruits (cherry and strawberry), and spice. Lovely palate with soft tannins. Drink preferably over the first few years after bottling. Will mature well for 3 to 4 years.
