Product Description
Mid-way on the road from Aix-en-Provence to Nice lies the little village of Flassans, he perfect place to stop for a spot of luch - freshly baked baguette, local cheeses ... and ,of course, a glass of juicy, berry flavoured red to wash it all down with! But Gaspard de Besse Merlot isn't just any old red, it's made using the highlest quality Merlot grapes, by a fantastic little estate that specialises in producing the premium wines that are helping this corner of Provence - better-known for its rose wines - to develop a real reputation for reds. Showing just why 'the South of France is the most exciting wine region in Europe at the moment' (Richard Neill), this wonderful wine is packed with ripe damson and plum flavours, with a powerful, peppery nose. Rich and warming on the finish, it's ideal with the strong cheeses of the region.
