Terroir
Terroir
— Merlot
The red counterpart.
Signed by Pablo García · Michelin-starred chef
The intention
Black fruit, structure, discreet tannin. The red counterpart to the Chasselas.
Tasting
On the nose
Blackberry, fresh plum, a trace of cedar. The juniper arrives late, like a soloist.
On the palate
More structured than the Chasselas, yet never heavy. Fine tannins, the sensation of fruit flesh.
Finish
Persistent, gently spiced. To be unwrapped slowly.
For the wine lover
For the red-wine lover. The roundness and dark fruit of a Valais Merlot, carried into a gin. After a good bottle of Merlot — the Merlot gin.
