Golden yellow. Effervescent bubbles. Floral and brioche aromas on the nose. Nice balance between fat and freshness on the palate.
Rough Sam is a generous person and entirely devoted to his vines. He takes his time to mature his wine in the half-light of the underground tuffeau galleries and offer a cuvée full of freshness and vitality.
This is a lovely drop of Merlot, demonstrating the wine skills of the Languedoc Roussillon area. I holidayed in the region some years ago and loved their wines - great to see them this side of the world and available. Versatile, easy drinking. So good my neighbour has also bought a case after tasting mine!
