This Merlot, approximately fifty years old, is cultivated on a unique terroir, a former salt marsh, offering the vines exceptional conditions. Thanks to the absence of rootstock, the roots have penetrated deeply, ensuring uniform ripening. Winemaking emphasizes quality, with extraction by punching down the cap to obtain the finest tannins. Aging in barrels for several months infuses the wine with aromas while adding a subtle oaky touch to the natural saline notes.

Château Bouisset
On the limestone soils of La Clape, Château Bouisset cultivates Syrah and Mourvèdre with the aim of producing full-bodied yet structured reds. The sea breeze brings a welcome freshness that tightens the juice and softens the natural power of the terroir. The wines display generous dark fruit, a spicy character, and a broad yet disciplined texture. The aging process, carefully managed, supports the wines without making them harsh. This estate clearly showcases the unique character of this windswept Mediterranean plateau.
