A French red wine made from the Merlot grape
The Merlot grape is inextricably linked to French winemaking. It was the first to be used commercially and extensively in Bordeaux vineyards. Its accessible nature brought it to all the wine regions of France. However, even France proved too small for the pleasant and friendly Merlot. You can now find it literally all over the world, from Argentina to South Africa and Australia to California. It has also earned a prominent place in the vineyards of Tour Saint Martin in Languedoc-Roussillon.
