Merlot Wines
Originating in Bordeaux, the first official mention of Merlot was in 1784 when French wine officials noted how good Merlot from the Right Bank was. Merlot also gained significant popularity in the 1990s, particularly in the United States, due to its smooth and approachable style. However, it has also been the subject of controversy, with some critics arguing that it can be overly simplistic or lacking in complexity. Nevertheless, Merlot remains a widely planted and popular grape variety, appreciated for its versatility and ability to produce a diverse range of wines. Ready to fall in love with Merlot?
