Chateau Fontareche "Les Tierces Larges" Merlot 2024

92 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team

"Deep purple in colour, with an expressive nose of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, backed by subtle violet and Mediterranean spice. The palate is generous and rounded, with plush dark-fruit flavours, soft integrated tannins and a touch of savoury spice. There is enough freshness to keep the wine lively, while the supple texture makes it immediately approachable. A classic southern French Merlot style — ripe, generous and beautifully easy to enjoy."
