Merlot Mon Eglise – 2020

Markus Schneider Merlot MON ÉGLISE 2020 – Elegance from the Palatinate

The Markus Schneider Merlot MON ÉGLISE 2020 from the Palatinate is a characterful red wine with intense depth and a special history. The Merlot is grown in small vineyards around the winery, planted with selected grape varieties from Pomerol. The locations near the former parish gardens ("Mon Église" means "My Church") and the unique soils give this wine its complex structure and exceptional character.

On the palate, the Merlot MON ÉGLISE combines powerful notes of plum, black cherry and cassis, as well as vanilla and cocoa, underlined by a hint of earthiness reminiscent of forest floor and cedarwood, and a long, velvety finish with fine herbal spice. The dry red wine with an alcohol content of 14% vol. pairs perfectly with hearty meat dishes, game or intense cheeses and best unfolds its potential with cool storage and careful enjoyment.
