Bleu Blanc Thau Merlot
I love Merlot. Whenever I see Merlot I go there like a zombie. I liked this wine but curiously it didn't felt super Merlot. My taste was probably a bit confused with so many different flavours those days. It was a bit acidic and I guess it would be perfect for some cheeses and game dishes.
I googled PREsearched and found it on Vivino.
Some quick facts:
Winery: Bleu Blanc Thau
Grapes: Merlot
Region: France / Vin de Pays / Pays d'Oc / Côtes de Thau
Wine style: Languedoc-Roussillon Red
We don't have Merlot in Portugal so I'm always paying attention and try not to miss a chance to drink some. Last time was almost a year ago when I opened a bottle of MOVIA Merlot Turno I brought from Slovenia.
Thanks for reading and... drink moderately 🍷
Cheers,
