Varies greatly depending on aging and origin. The most common Merlot variety comes from Bordeaux. Such a drink has a rich berry flavor, where blackberries, currants, raspberries and cherries are intertwined. The aroma of young wines may include notes of cocoa, violets or plums. Drinks aged in oak barrels get a breath of sweetness, truffles or even leather.

A distinctive feature of Merlot is its low astringency and relatively low acidity. In addition, this variety has a fairly high level of sugar. As a result, the drink from it is light, harmonious and very refreshing.

This wine is of French origin, and to be precise, the province of Bordeaux is considered the birthplace of Merlot. The word "Merlot" in translation from the old French dialect means "black young bird". This wine is very popular in France. This is evidenced by the fact that the grape variety of the same name is among the top three in terms of the number of areas.
