Description

Il Pays d'Oc IGP Grand Chataignier Merlot in formato Jeroboam del Domaine de la Baume rappresenta un'espressione autentica del terroir del sud della Francia, con la sua capacità di catturare l'essenza di questa affascinante regione vinicola. Questo Merlot è un vino di grande carattere e complessità, che si distingue per il suo bouquet fruttato intenso di ciliegie mature, prugne e note di cioccolato leggero. Al palato, si presenta morbido e avvolgente, con tannini ben integrati che conferiscono struttura e eleganza al sorso.

La vinificazione avviene con metodi tradizionali, curati nei minimi dettagli, per garantire il massimo rispetto per l'uva e il suo potenziale espressivo. La macerazione prolungata e la fermentazione a temperatura controllata permettono di estrarre il meglio dalle uve, mentre un breve affinamento in botti di rovere arricchisce il vino di sfumature aromatiche che si sviluppano nel tempo.

Ideale da degustare con piatti a base di carne rossa, stufati o formaggi a media stagionatura, il Grand Chataignier Merlot si presta anche a momenti conviviali, grazie alla sua versatilità e all'immediata piacevolezza che riesce a trasmettere. La grandezza del formato Jeroboam lo rende perfetto per occasioni speciali e per il condivisione tra appassionati di vino.

Scopri la caratteristica armoniosa di questo Merlot e lasciati conquistare dalla sua personalità vibrante, un vero simbolo della tradizione vinicola del Domaine de la Baume.

Winery history

The estate's origins date to the late 19th century with the Prat family; the property was renovated and replanted during the 20th century. In the 1990s, families with international experience joined the management; in 2003 the estate became part of the group led by Joseph Helfrich, which relaunched production and wine exports.

Production philosophy

The estate’s approach combines tradition and modernity: parcel-by-parcel selection, night harvesting to preserve freshness and aromas, and careful control of winemaking to express the typicity of each vineyard.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in Servian, between Béziers and Pézenas in the expansive Languedoc wine region, the estate benefits from a Mediterranean climate and diverse soils — limestone-clay terraces and sandier plains — which support the cultivation of a wide range of grape varieties.
