Château des Merles
A traditional Listrac estate whose origins date back to 1845.
This small 5-hectare estate enjoys some great clay-limestone terroir just South of the village of Listrac, and, with its old (over 40-year-old) Merlot vines, produces a dense and fruity wine. This is genuine Listrac for your delight.
Certified HVE3 as of the 2019 vintage.
