2023 Décadence Merlot, La Belle Etoile

The 2023 Décadence Merlot is exactly as its name suggests: sumptuous, silky, and deeply satisfying. Made from carefully selected Merlot grapes grown in the warm, limestone-rich soils of the Languedoc, this wine offers all the generous fruit and supple texture the variety is loved for.

In the glass, it reveals an inviting bouquet of black plum, ripe blackberry, and dark cherry, wrapped in subtle notes of mocha, vanilla, and sweet spice. The palate is plush and rounded, with layers of juicy dark fruit, soft tannins, and a hint of cocoa and toasted oak. A smooth, lingering finish completes the experience, leaving an impression of effortless decadence.
