Southern France produced incredibly rich, warming reds in 2019. But for depth, flavour and value our buyer says his pick of the vintage is “near perfect” Domaine La Domitienne.
It’s a pure Merlot, the great grape of St-Emilion. In sun-baked southern France, Merlot produces a rounder style loaded with juicy, plummy flavour. And this one benefits from the magic touch of a winemaking great.
Hervé Sabardeil is the man behind smash-hit reds like Cabalié and Rex Mundi. He also works at this lovely little domaine on the ancient Via Domitia Roman byway.
At 15% alcohol, this super-smooth, gently spicy red is a wine to sip slowly and really savour. And a star buy at £10.99 £7.99 a bottle.
