Ginestières Merlot 2019
As with all wines from this outstanding domaine, the Ginestières Merlot delivers quality and style beyond what you might expect of a Pays d’Oc. With dark cassis and wild herb flavours, this silken gem is a smart alternative to costlier Saint Emilion.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
