J. & F. Lurton 2006 Les Bateaux Merlot Merlot (Vin de Pays d’Oc)

Country: France / Les Bateaux Merlot
Variety: Merlot Languedoc-Roussillon
Winery: J. & F. Lurton / Vin de Pays d’Oc

The Lurtons get their fruit for this wine from the Carcassonne region, the coolest part of the Languedoc. That explains the simple freshness of the red fruits, the acidity and the supple but dry tannins. Screwcap.
