A commanding, complex Merlot that layers black cherry, plum, and cassis with clove, mocha, and subtle tobacco. Rich yet precise, with velvety tannins and a persistent, mineral-driven finish, it’s a wine of depth, elegance, and power. Ideal with slow-roasted lamb, côte de boeuf, or duck with cherry sauce. It also complements truffle-infused dishes and mature cheeses, rewarding long decanting and cellar ageing.

About the Producer

Château Picoron is a Bordeaux estate with a rebellious edge, redefining what Merlot can be. Under the creative direction of Camille and her team, the winery experiments fearlessly — crafting everything from crisp whites and delicate rosés to structured, cellar-worthy reds. Their philosophy is rooted in curiosity and craftsmanship: small-scale, hands-on winemaking that embraces both tradition and innovation. Each bottle is a thoughtful exploration of Merlot’s versatility, made for drinkers who seek character and surprise rather than convention

Vineyard and Winery

From the best parcels in Côtes de Castillon, where limestone soils and old vines deliver small, concentrated berries. Careful canopy management and strict yield control ensure maximum expression and balance.

Fermentation in stainless steel with extended maceration builds structure and depth. Aged in French oak barrels for integration and complexity, the wine develops layered flavours and fine-grained tannins, ready to evolve beautifully over time.
