Chateau Picoron Mon Nom Merlot - Bordeaux, France

Mon Nom is a wine that celebrates the pure and natural beauty of Merlot. It has a deep purple color and a rich aroma of plums, cherries, and herbs. It is made from organic grapes that are harvested early and fermented slowly at low temperatures. It is bottled without any oak aging or any other intervention. It is also sustainable and vegan. This wine is smooth and balanced, with a lively acidity and soft tannins. It is best enjoyed at room temperature and decanted when young.

The estate is named after the Picoron family that continued winemaking from 1570. Since 2015, the winery celebrates the future of Bordeaux with its new Australian owners Glenda and Frank Kalyk. They explore the potential of the great grape of Merlot, with the contraints of the Bordeaux region, its varietals and the changing climate, being the very catalyst for their creation. Each wine is produced from single plot grapes, with vineyards grown on famous St Emillion clay and limestone ridge.
