Guillaume Merlot

Not just any glass of Merlot wine, but one with depth and a unique style—that's what this Guillaume represents. But according to the winemaker, it all begins in the beautiful old vineyards in the heart of the Pays d'Oc wine region. The old vineyard, filled with Merlot grapes, produces a ripe and full harvest. But that requires hard work, with extensive pruning and tilling the soil demanding careful attention. Thanks to the abundant sunshine and fresh breeze, the Merlot growing season is calm and peaceful. This translates into a fantastic harvest, with the ripe Merlot grapes imparting their beautiful aromas and flavors to this Guillaume red wine.

The harvest of the Merlot grapes

Harvesting on time is crucial for Merlot, otherwise the final wine will be too fruity. Well, leave that to Guillaume's winemakers, who have extensive experience crafting the finest French Merlot wines. Harvest always takes place early in the morning, when the sun isn't yet shining brightly. This is precisely when the grapes are cool enough to be carefully brought in. This prevents damage to the bunches, and they are rigorously inspected upon arrival. The final juice is exquisite, and the entire wine matures for several months in Guillaume's cellars.
