Le Merle Blanc
Tasting Notes
This wine offers intense aromas of exotic fruits and juicy white pear. Upon aeration, its complexity deepens with hints of flint and white flowers. On the palate, it reveals itself as ample and flavorful, carried by a beautiful acidic framework that ensures balance and freshness through the finish. The experience culminates in subtle woody notes, adding richness and elegance.
Vineyards
The grapes for this wine come from the 135-acre Château Clarke estate in Listrac-Médoc. The 30-year-old vines are pruned using a double Guyot training system and managed with natural grass cover to promote biodiversity and soil health.
Winemaking
The grapes are pressed, cold settled, fermented and matured on the lees. 25% of the blend is aged in new barrels, 25% in second fill and the remainder in stainless steel for 6 months.
