The vineyards around Domaine Seailles are known for producing incredible Armagnac, leaving little space left to grow Merlot for this tasty and affordable table wine. After a long holiday season, it can feel quite relaxing to sit back with a wine that isn’t overly complicated. This organically grown 100% Merlot is luscious, textured and juicy. Rich blackberry, plum and cherry mingle together with baking spices, leather and a touch of white pepper. Perfect on its own or paired alongside smoked and sauced meats such as BBQ wings or ribs, or with something more refined such as mushroom bourguignon.

Vinification: The grapes were harvested, destermered and subsequently crushed. Various Merlots from neighbouring organic vineyards are blended with the Merlot of the vineyard. After 6 days of maceration, the wine is aged for 6 months in concrete tanks before bottling with a light filtration at the domaine.

About the winemaker: Domaine Séailles is one of the pioneers of organic viticulture in the Côte de Gascogne, farming organically since 1998. Unusual for the region, the vineyard is planted half to red grapes - primarily Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The white grapes include the region’s ubiquitous Ugni Blanc and Colombard which are used primarily for the traditional Armagnac Ténarèze, alongside Sauvignon Blanc and the rare Sauvignon Gris which are used for the still wines.
