| Description: |
 |
Chateau Lamargue is one of the most famous and prestigious cellars in the South of France. On a terrain of 117 hectares, the Chateau Lamargue cellar produces a range of ten wines that are divided into A.O.C Costieres de Nimes and Vins de pays d'Oc wines, which correspond to different types of wine and different types of production.
Now owned by Campari this estate has undergone significant investment in the vineyards and a new showcase winery equipped with the most advanced winemaking technology. Additionally, Lamargue’s ageing cellars are now replete with all-new French and American oak barriques.
Generally harvested in the first half of September, the fully ripened grapes undergo a three-day maceration at a temperature of around 12°C. Fermentation at a temperature of 28°-30°C lasts around one week. Highly concentrated, the wine remains in tanks for a brief period after which it is transferred into barriques for six months prior to bottling and release.
All varietal wines produced by the Domaine Lamargue label are estate-grown and bottled. Yields at the property have been reduced to about 3,500 liters per hectare – which translates into approximately one bottle of wine per vine. Consequently, the varietal wines of Domaine Lamargue are deeply colored, intensely fragrant and rich in concentrated flavours.
This Merlot has a deep and intense red colour while the nose is dominated by wood that integrates perfectly leaving notes of balsamic and spicy flavours, of cloves and candied fruits. On the palate it is very concentrated, while the presence of powerful tannins and a beautiful acid balance perfectly support its long finish.
