Sensory Description:
Lush red berry fruit leaps from the glass, followed by floral hints and a whisper of crushed herbs. On the palate, it’s delightfully juicy and soft, with vibrant cherry and plum notes balanced by just the right touch of freshness. Smooth tannins and a silky finish make it exceptionally easy-drinking. Chill slightly and you’ll discover a wine that feels tailor-made for sunny afternoons and late-night laughter.
Winemaker's Background:
Château Guilhem dates back to 1791 and is now under the stewardship of Bertrand Gourdou, the fifth generation of his family to run the estate. The château is located in Malepère, the most westerly appellation of the Languedoc, where the Atlantic breezes and calcareous sandstone soils create a unique microclimate. With 35 hectares planted mostly to Bordeaux varieties, the estate operates organically and honors both the past and present through sustainable viticulture and a balance of traditional and modern winemaking.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve slightly chilled at 55–58°F in a universal red wine glass to enhance its aromatic vibrancy. This is a perfect partner for charcuterie boards, roast chicken, lentil salads, or a classic croque monsieur. Ideal for casual gatherings or simple dinners that call for a wine that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but still delivers.
This breezy, biodynamic Merlot is the kind of bottle that makes you wish every night ended with a glass of red and good company. It’s authentic, honest, and impossible not to love.
