Description

Indulge in the rich heritage of Bordeaux with the Meruts Pierre Rivière. This red wine is a harmonious blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, carefully selected from the renowned Bordeaux region of France. The 2019 vintage offers a medium-bodied experience, with a deep ruby hue that invites you to explore its complex aromas.

On the nose, the wine reveals a bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, complemented by subtle notes of cedar, earth and a hint of spice, indicative of the region’s terroir. As you take a sip, the well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity create a smooth and velvety texture on the palate. The flavors of dark berries are enhanced by a touch of vanilla and a pleasant earthy undertone, creating a complex and satisfying experience.

The Pierre Rivière winery, though not the most internationally well known, has a tradition of crafting wines that reflect the true essence of Bordeaux, combining modern techniques with a respect for time-honored methods, resulting in a wine that’s both accessible and sophisticated. They create consistent high quality wines that are affordable and pleasurable.

The Meruts Pierre Rivière Bordeaux 2019 is a very versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. For a classic pairing, try it with grilled meats such as lamb or beef, where its structured tannins and fruit-forward character will complement the richness of the dish. It also does wonders when paired with roast chicken or other poultry. For cheese pairings, consider a medium-aged cheddar or a semi-hard cow's milk cheese. Those would enhance the wine's earthy notes. You can enjoy this wine for a casual evening, or a special occasion. It benefits from being opened about 15 minutes before serving, allowing it to fully express its delicate aromas and flavors. Serve at around 18°C to appreciate all the beauty that this wine has to offer. This wine is an ideal choice for anyone who wants a taste of the classic Bordeaux style.
