Les Crêtes Merlot Le Merle presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its rich extraction. The nose is a sophisticated interplay of ripe black cherry, cassis, and subtle hints of cedar and dark chocolate, underscored by a whisper of dried herbs. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied structure with velvety tannins, seamlessly integrated with a vibrant acidity that enlivens the fruit core. The finish is long and complex, echoing notes of plum and a touch of graphite. This Merlot exemplifies the finesse and elegance characteristic of the Aosta Valley, offering both immediate pleasure and potential for aging.
