The Cluzels make amazingly pure, classically styled wines, and this merlot is no exception. Expect loads of black currant fruit with a surprising lightness that just makes this so drinkable.

Producer introduction
With a strong environmental conscience and a commitment to organic farming the Cluzel family took over their beautiful property 5 years ago transforming it into a fully organic vineyard.  Their successful quest for pure, unadulterated varietal characteristics in their wines is evident.  The pressing and subsequent vinification of the grapes in steel lined concrete vats takes place at the heart of the vineyards enabling the grapes to be instantly pressed after picking, thus maintaining maximum freshness and flavour and avoiding any excessive use of sulphur.  The peachy pink rosé, made from Caladoc, is beautifully fragrant, pure and long in flavour. The Chardonnay is a stunning example of how you can make this noble variety into a refreshing, vivacious glassful. View more info about Domaine de La Tour More info
Tasting Notes
With a strong environmental conscience and a commitment to organic farming the Cluzel family took over their beautiful property 5 years ago transforming it into a fully organic vineyard.

The pressing and subsequent vinification of the grapes in steel lined concrete vats takes place at the heart of the vineyards enabling the grapes to be instantly pressed after picking, thus maintaining maximum freshness and flavour and avoiding any excessive use of sulphur. Their merlot is dripping with cassis flavour and the nose is simply intoxicating. The palate is much more restrained with a very merlot lightness and elegance. This is a smashing wine for the price and never fails to please.
