Francois Ducrot La Vie en Rouge!

François's inaugural creation celebrates the essence of Merlot, untouched by added sulphites—a bold statement of his winemaking ethos. In a region where Merlot often plays second fiddle in blends, François endeavors to revive its prominence gradually, through meticulous craftsmanship and unwavering dedication.

Harvested at optimal times to preserve its natural character, this Merlot boasts a lighter alcohol profile and vibrant acidity, resulting in a wine with smooth tannins and balanced nuances. From the fragrant bouquet of complex black and red fruits to the indulgent palate bursting with flavors of red pepper, red fruits, and fiery chorizo, François's artistry shines through in every sip. Enjoy it slightly chilled alongside grilled meats, spicy dishes, or a selection of cold cuts for a refreshing experience reminiscent of a basket of fresh fruit.
