Vintage Report
The 2024 vintage in the Languedoc benefited from constant sunshine and warmth, which led to optimally ripened Merlot grapes. These favorable conditions resulted in a wine with rich fruit concentration and a very soft structure.
Denis Marchais has been crafting the finest wines in the south of France for years. It's a highly renowned winery affiliated with LaCheteau, a trading house in the Loire Valley. The trading house owns a large vineyard but also collaborates with winemakers from all over southern France. This means they have extensive winemaking expertise, and they complement each other well. This guarantees a solid foundation of quality, and you can taste the difference. In recent years, they've been busy, and they've built a completely renovated winery with all the latest technology. This allows the winemaker at Denis Marchais to extract everything the Merlot grape needs. A wine that scores highly in terms of price-quality ratio.
Made from the best Merlot bunches
For the Merlot vineyards for this Denis Marchais, we travel to the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region. There, the old vineyards are filled with overripe Merlot grapes. The grape thrives in this region, especially thanks to the warmth. The sun is always present in the vineyards. The Merlot grapes thrive and draw abundant nutrients from the rich soil structure. Wine has been grown on these lands for many years.What a soft red wine this Denis Marchais Merlot is
It's a true masterpiece that winemaker Denis Marchais creates. The ripe Merlot bunches are thoroughly inspected upon arrival. Unusable bunches are removed, and the remainder is slowly pressed. The purple, ruby-red juice creates a warm sensation in the glass. It flows from the glass, bringing to mind nuances of blackberry, cherry, currant, and fresh plum. The wine is very smooth on the palate, with beautiful flavors of ripe red and black fruit, along with hints of toffee and vanilla. A touch of sweet spice and berry fruit lingers on the palate and in the finish, perfectly balancing everything.Product details
