Bastide de Garille Merlot

Set in the Cabardès appellation, the estate's limestone soils are ideal for capturing both the Mediterranean sunshine and the cool Atlantic influence. Nicolas Lorgeril and his wife Miren who own Lorgeril are at the forefront of this trend to reinvent. Harnessing ten generations of wine making and family history and marrying it to modern techniques and knowledge, they are exploiting what has been called 'the grape-basket of France' to make wines that are both fresh and elegant.
