This 100% Merlot intrigues purists and fascinates insiders. Sacré Coeur is the almost perfectionist search for the expression of a varietal wine on one of the most beautiful terroirs in the world. In a land of blends, Sacré Cœur plays the card of complexity and declines its nuances of Merlot on gravel and light clay. This micro-production of 1.5 hectares is almost untouchable, only three to five thousand bottles are produced each year, a torture for enthusiasts who now have to bow to the hard game of the waiting list.
