Bordeaux winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua likes to challenge the rules and here he's taken two cuvées of delicious Merlot from two vintages – the deliciously ripe 2022 and the fresher notes of 2021. Dark, velvety black fruits, with a light touch of oak.
Le Bonalguet is brimful of rich fruit and Saint-Emilion-like finesse. It's from 2022, described by critic Lisa Perrotti-Brown as "a classic, great Bordeaux vintage". With all its luscious, velvety fruit, this Gold-medal winner is a stunner.
Pure, vibrant flavours ensure Chilean Merlot wide international appeal. And one of the country’s leading producers is the Luis Felipe Edwards estate, four-time winner of ‘Chilean Winery of the Year’. Their Merlot is full of fruit and silky smooth.
An expressive, rich Bordeaux carefully crafted by the Jolivet family. Château Saint Florin is from a great vintage and has won an impressive four Gold medals. Merlot-dominated, it offers an abundance of fruit and layers of savoury spice complexity.
