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.
What a soft, refined wine this Guillaume Merlot is! It possesses all the beautiful characteristics of a top-class Merlot from the southern Languedoc region. This is where the grapes grow, with ample sunshine and a gentle breeze providing depth and ripeness. On the nose, this Guillaume offers hints of sultry cherries and berries, with a hint of marzipan and vanilla. The taste is typical Merlot, soft and creamy with abundant fruit such as blackberries, cherries, and strawberries. The finish is smooth and uncomplicated.
