Merlot shines in France, especially in the southwest region of Bordeaux, where its wines are highly sought after. It’s the dominant grape in the blends of the Right Bank, specifically the appellations of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol.
Often compared to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot is a softer, gentler option, with lower tannins, acidity, and generally a lighter body, with tasting notes of black cherries, blackberries, plums, cocoa, and violets. When grown in warmer climates, the grape shows juicier, fruity notes with higher alcohol and moderate tannins. When grown in cooler climates, however, Merlot can be similar in structure to Cabernet with grippy tannins and herbaceous, peppery notes.
