Les Jardins Divers Merlot Mourvèdre, showcases the blend of two iconic French grape varieties, Merlot and Mourvèdre, resulting in a wine that is bold, well-balanced, and full of character. This unexpected combination of varietals is increasingly popular among wine lovers for its versatility and depth, bringing together the smooth fruitiness of Merlot and the robust structure of Mourvèdre.

While Merlot is traditionally known for its plush, fruit-forward profile, Mourvèdre is celebrated for its complexity, offering earthy, smoky, and sometimes gamey undertones. Together, they create a harmonious balance, with Merlot softening Mourvèdre’s intensity, while Mourvèdre adds layers of depth and spice to Merlot’s richness.

On the nose, it opens with ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, characteristic of Merlot, with hints of herbs and a touch of pepper from the Mourvèdre. Additional layers reveal subtle earthiness, notes of licorice, and hints of dried Mediterranean herbs, giving the wine a complexity that is both inviting and intriguing.

The palate is robust and full-bodied, with a seamless blend of dark fruit and savory notes. Merlot’s smooth texture combines with Mourvèdre’s structure, creating a balanced mouthfeel that is plush yet firm. As the wine evolves on the palate, layers of dark chocolate, leather, and a hint of smokiness emerge, leading to a long and satisfying finish with a touch of spice.

Pairs beautifully with a wide range of foods, making it a versatile choice for various occasions. Its structure and depth make it a wonderful companion to grilled or roasted meats, particularly lamb, beef, or game.
