Le Défi de Fontenil 2012 Wine of France France

100% Merlot - Limited Edition

A rather merlot vintage, and good technical choices.

Beautiful deep purple colour with brilliant highlights.

A rich bouquet with notes of cherry, redcurrant and raspberry. Swirling in the glass reveals aromas of forest floor, violet and toast.

Very elegant on the palate with soft substance and a smooth, polished tannic structure.

This 2012 vintage is now an ode to charm and enjoyment.
