Domaine du Bien Aimé, Merlot, IGP Pays d'Oc, Red, 2021

After a dry winter, with the soil mineralising under the best possible conditions, the early spring was marked by frosts which had a severe impact on the Côtes du Rhône vineyards. Despite this, the terroirs of Maison Sinnae were relatively spared, which enabled the vegetative cycle to get underway with average earliness. The rather rainy spring gave rise to abundant flowering. This produced fresh, taut rosés, powerful, tannic reds and an exceptional white vintage.
