Tournée du Sud Merlot 2024
£9.45
The wine
A juicy Merlot from the South of France offering fresh notes of ripe plum and vibrant red fruits. Easy and approachable in style, it has a fleshy palate and smooth, silky tannins. Merlot ripens generously this far south, giving a rounder and more forward wine than its Bordeaux equivalent.
The producer
Tournée du Sud
View all Tournée du Sud winesTournee du Sud is built on a simple idea: a tour of the south of France, told through its wines rather than its roads. The name nods to the cycling tradition of the region, and to the touriste-routiers who rode it for the pleasure of the thing.
The range moves across the appellations of the Midi, picking up a Picpoul de Pinet from beside the Etang de Thau, a Sauvignon Blanc, a Viognier, a Pinot Noir and a Merlot along the way. Each is chosen to show its grape and its corner of the south clearly, at a price that invites everyday drinking.
