Notes:
The 2020 Les acacias cuvée is 100% Merlot.
The color is dark garnet red.
The nose is complex, with aromas of red and black fruits, spicy and
mentholated notes, all in freshness. The woodiness is present but subtle, with
intense empyreumatic notes.
On the palate, one is immediately seduced by the velvety Merlot which
remains fresh. It is dense and focused, without any superfluous show of force.
The finish is long with floral aromas worthy of the great gravel Graves terroirs
and some violet notes. With well coated tannins, the whole is as powerful as
velvety. A racy wine with a strong identity.
