Merlot

Merlot is the main driver in the Bordeaux vineyards of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol, with a fruit that is soft, supple and luscious. It is also used as the majority grape on the Médoc, in order to soften the potential power and tannins of the Cabernet Sauvignon.  It is an increasingly popular mono-varietal all over the world.

The wine goes particularly well with most meats and cheeses.
