Producer

The Vignobles des 3 Chateaux combines some of the best hillside vineyards of the western Languedoc, centred around the hill of Pic Saint-Loup and sharring the same schist and limestone soils between the Mediterranean and the CĂ©vennes hills. It is an area that benefits from both Mediterranean and continental influences. The wines are distinctly elegant with plenty of character, more akin to Burgundy than typical Languedoc styles.
Tasting Notes
A typically supple and raisiny Merlot from the wild slopes of Coteaux du Pic. This easy drinking soft red has dark fruit aromas with some spice and bold blackberry fruit. A fruit rich palate reveals flavours of cherries, blackberries and summer pudding supported by velvety tannins.
Food
Serve with cold cuts, white meats in sauce, mixed salads and creamy cheeses.
