100% MERLOT FROM THE HEART OF BORDEAUX

La Fleur 2014, produced by the Chateau Haut-Piquat winery, is a great, silky Bordeaux made from 100% Merlot. A red wine that can only be found in Bordeaux. This Bordeaux, which dispenses with its usual partners Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, already impresses on the nose with a fine woody spice together with lots of wild berries, some vanilla and coconut. In the mouth then initially elegant, restrained fruit, clear albeit well integrated tannins, with aeration then plums and blackberries, ripe black cherries, plus tobacco, liquorice, violets, toasted notes from black bread and green spiciness. Ripe tannins and balanced acidity ensure a slim and fine wine with a medium body that expresses the finesse of the growing area.
