Equinoixe Merlot
Spicy wine that, when drunk young, combines well with grilled or seasoned meat. After a few years of ripening also excellent with veal or leg of lamb.
Taste pleasure from Arjolle
Truly sublime quality Merlot from Arjolle. This full-bodied, creamy red wine with beautiful aromas of ripe dark fruit convinces professional wine tasters, such as the team of the magazine Perswijn. But the Equinoxe is also very popular with our clientele. This harvest is great and is one of the great Languedoc years.
We are full of conviction to give buying advice to lovers of Bordeaux classics such as Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, because the Equinoxe is a wonderful alternative to the more expensive Merlots from those wine regions. The secret of its success is - in addition to the craftsmanship of winemaker François Teisserenc - the incredibly low yield in the vineyards. This is only twenty-five hectoliters per hectare, while more than three times as much (eighty hl) is allowed here.
After picking and fermentation, the Equinoxe is aged for ten months in small barrels of French and American oak. These give a complex and subdued oak aroma and a ditto taste, matching a high-quality red wine. The characteristic of ripe merlot grapes, round and velvety tannin, is abundant.
The winemakers of Arjolle also know how to add a delicious drinkability. This makes this wine not only very suitable as an accompaniment to many game and meat dishes, but also very tasty outside the meal.
