Terroir:
Sourced from the clay-limestone soils of Bordeaux, Château Haut-Meyreau’s vineyards provide an ideal environment for Merlot, enhancing its fruit-forward character while maintaining a balanced acidity. This terroir supports the unique style of Clairet, a traditionally vibrant, lighter-bodied Bordeaux.
Viticulture:
With a commitment to natural winemaking, Complètement Raisins is produced with minimal intervention. The vines are farmed sustainably, without synthetic chemicals, ensuring that the vineyard’s biodiversity and soil health are preserved.
Winemaking:
Made in the Clairet style, this 100% Merlot undergoes a short maceration to create a wine that’s deeper than a rosé but fresher and lighter than a traditional red. Natural fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined, preserving its purity and expression of the fruit.
Tasting Notes:
Complètement Raisins has a bright ruby hue with aromas of ripe raspberry, red currant, and a touch of wild herbs. The palate is lively and juicy, showing fresh red berry flavors, soft tannins, and a refreshing acidity. With its easy-drinking style and smooth, lingering finish, this natural Clairet is perfect for enjoying chilled, especially on warm days.
