A really juicy and easy-drinking Merlot, this has lots of Red berry , Cherry and Blackberry flavours combined with a touch of spice.
This wine has a very deep colour, almost black. Complex, rich, and full bodied, it has flavours of crushed black fruits (ripe blackberries, black currant, cherries), jam and cooked fruits with hints of spices (cinnamon, thyme). On the palate, this wine is round, fat and long («velvety») with matured tannins at the end. It is a well-balanced and easy drinking wine.
La Cour des Dames wines, hailing from different Pays d’Oc terroirs, pay homage to an illustrious period in Occitan culture. The troubadours, celebrated poet-musicians, devoted themselves to lyric art and courted ladies. Using their oratorical talents at sumptuous banquets served in their honour, they also introduced their audiences to wine tasting. By combining wines, gastronomy, music and poetry they were the precursors of a certain Mediterranean art of living that has lasted to the present day.
