The velvet merlot accompanied by the finesse of an elegant woody background a great wine guard. It is appreciated young after aeration in a carafe. We like the flexibility of the attack and the depth of the mouth. The length reminds you of exceptional wines.

The birth of Elles
When you have exceptions, you have to know how to highlight them. That's what we did with our Elles. In 2010, the harvest was excellent. Our old merlot vines have given magnificent juices, raw material for the birth of a great wine. The Merlot grape is a variety that the 3 of us really appreciate. We therefore reserve our juices for the preparation of a new wine.
The name appeared as an obvious choice. Elles - means they for women in french. It highlights our energy and our common passion for our property. We also wanted to highlight the transmission mother-daughters, the alliance of youth and maturity in the know-how and in the agreement of fruit and wood.
The cuvée Elles will be produced only during our best years of harvest.
