"A 100% Merlot that is as delicious as can be!"

" Bright notes of Damascus plum and lilac flow over a supple structure, ending with light blood and mineral accents on the finish. Drink through 2026." (Wine Spectator 2021)

Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)

About wine:

A specific plot of the Château Villars estate is allocated to this wine. It is powerful, dense, dark with tannins and rich in alcohol and generous black fruits. A wine for aging, it will not be ready before 2022.
