Why shop with us?
Château les Graves de Viaud’s 2020 Côtes de Bourg La Cuvée de Mère L'O is an inviting, fruit-forward Merlot from Bordeaux, made in an approachable style that puts freshness and easy-drinking charm first. Its organic designation and stainless-steel élevage set it apart from more overtly oak-driven Bordeaux reds.
Tasting Notes
Deep, dark fruit leads the nose, with forest berries and ripe cherry joined by hints of white pepper, herbs and earthy, slightly rusty nuances. On the palate, the wine is soft and full-bodied, with generous fruit, mild tannins and little astringency; a touch of liquorice adds a gently sweet spice to the smooth finish. Best enjoyed while its fruit is lively, it should be suitable for drinking in the near term; specific long-term ageing potential is not provided.
Production
The wine is made from Merlot, with the grapes fully destemmed before a cold maceration and gentle extraction in stainless steel. It remains on the skins after fermentation and then ages exclusively in stainless-steel vessels, preserving its fruit-forward character. The available information does not specify the vineyard terroir or harvesting method.
Food & Serving
Try it with roast chicken, grilled sausages, burgers or a mushroom and lentil dish, whose savoury flavours complement the wine’s ripe fruit and mild tannins. Serve slightly cool, around 16–18°C. A short airing in the glass should be sufficient; decanting is optional rather than essential.
