Domaine de Longuet Merlot 2024

Crafted by our good friend Vincent Gourdon, whose family has been in the wine world for generations, Domaine de Longuet Merlot is an exceptionally smooth and plush red wine from Southern France.

It comes from the Pays d’Oc region, a “treasure-trove for fascinating wines and dynamic producers” according to Decanter, where fewer appellation rules mean an exciting playground for winemakers and a Mediterranean climate means excellent growing conditions for grapes. The 35-year-old vines from which this wine was sourced are especially idyllic, sitting along the banks of the Canal du Midi, where they were able to ripen to perfection with warm sun and cooling coastal breezes.

In the glass, you’ll experience juicy flavors plum, raspberry and blackberry that glide along smooth tannins. Delicious on its own, it would also be a welcome partner for BBQ, roasted meats and more.

Domaine de Longuet Merlot is a medium-bodied red wine with aromas of ripe red and dark fruits. On the palate, it brims with juicy ripe plum, raspberry and blackberry flavor, plus a hint of herbs on its long, silky finish.
