Domaine la Bouche du Roi Les Trois Corneilles Merlot 2020
- Textured, savoury
- France
If you find yourself driving amongst the traffic chaos of Paris, take a quick half an hour detour and relax at the Domaine la Bouche du Roi. Located in the pretty little village of Davron, this urban wine-growing region creates incredible wines of terroir. They are a truly magnificent discovery right out of a renaissance painting. And these wines are truly dazzling. You can experience the terroir as you’re sipping, even among the gumtrees on your Aussie verandah. Our pick of the reds is the merlot; a rare rouge that’s loaded with enough flavour to leave you speechless.
Profile
The 2020 merlot is a lesson in elegance, with a warm fruitiness filled with fleshy plums, and a dynamism bringing merlot to life. Full bodied, yet elegant fine, cedary tannins, this unique vineyard shows off an exceptional vintage, and is too an exceptional merlot. Limited quantities produced, so get it while you can.
Full price $90.00 from the producer.

Looks like this is either a wine sourced from various regions in France or it's from a smaller region that we haven't gotten around to writing about for you yet! If it's the former, well, it's hard to make general comments about a multi-regional French wine. So let's assume it's the latter: we've been lazy. Forgive us, there's only two of us, and we're mere mortals. We'll get round to writing something inspirational about this obscure (hopefully, otherwise we're in trouble) region eventually. Meanwhile, shoot in your suggestions (and your resume?), or just rejoice in the fact that there's something magical about heading off the beaten track and telling your friends all about that amazing grape that grows in the hinterlands of a place that doesn't even make it on the map – or Vinomofo's regional writeup section, at least.
