IGP PAYS D'OC MERLOT LITTORAL
LITTORAL

Caressed by sea breezes and kissed by sunlight, the Littoral Terroir offers ideal conditions to produce fresh, aromatic, and expressive wines. Along the Sète coast, limestone soils rich in marine fossils – oyster shells, ammonites, and corals – impart minerality, subtle salinity, and a crystalline freshness to the wine.

Crafted from Littoral vineyard parcels, sculpted by the soils since the Tertiary era.

Night-harvested at perfect maturity to preserve its full potential, this Merlot immediately reveals optimal fruit expression. The grapes undergo a 4-day cold pre-fermentation maceration, enhancing color and highlighting aromatic freshness. Each parcel is vinified separately under controlled temperature to retain its typicity and finesse. The cuvaison continues with a 7-day warm post-fermentation maceration, refining the tannins and enriching the wine’s texture.

3 months on fine lees.

This wine, with a brilliant violet-red hue, unveils an intense bouquet marked by notes of blackberry and peppermint. The palate is round and generous, revealing rich black fruit flavors complemented by a delicate freshness.

Ideal with salmon tartare or grilled vegetables, this fresh Littoral Merlot reveals its full fruity freshness.
Serving temperature: 15 – 17°C (59 – 63°F).
