Les Oliviers Merlot Mourvèdre is a characterful, sunny red wine that offers a delightful Mediterranean twist on classic Merlot. Produced by Boutinot France in the sun-drenched Languedoc region of Southern France, this bottling combines ripe, luscious fruit with a splash of Mourvèdre for added structure and subtle spice. Crafted to be approachable, expressive, and easy-drinking, it presents an authentic taste of the French coast.

Why You'll Love It

This wine stands out for its unique blend, combining the plush, juicy red fruit of Merlot with the savoury, wild herbal warmth of Mourvèdre. Grown in sunny Mediterranean vineyards and vinified entirely without oak, it prioritises bright, pure fruit expression and refreshing balance. It delivers a wonderfully fragrant nose and a smooth, food-friendly palate that is as enjoyable on its own as it is at the dinner table.

Vineyard & Production

The fruit is sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites in the Languedoc. A single plot of Merlot provides the plush, juicy core, while a dedicated plot of Mourvèdre contributes spice and structural depth. Grapes are hand-harvested, de-stemmed, and undergo cool-temperature maceration to retain maximum fruit vitality. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel without oak contact, preserving the natural varietal freshness before the final blend is assembled.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, it displays a bright ruby colour. The nose is pleasantly perfumed with lifted notes of wild lavender, red summer berries, plums, and damsons. On the palate, it is soft, juicy, and rounded, packed with vibrant red fruit flavours. The Mourvèdre component introduces subtle warmth, gentle spice, and a savoury, green herbal edge on the finish.

Perfect Pairings

With its vibrant fruit profile and Mediterranean herbal notes, this red blend is an outstanding partner for rich, savoury dishes. It pairs magnificently with hearty pasta bakes, lasagne, and Mediterranean recipes incorporating tomatoes, olives, or anchovies. It is also an excellent match for grilled sausages, ratatouille, and cured meats.
