Domaine CaudeVal Merlot, France
Wonderful intense smoky aromas, with concentrated blackberry, spice and vanilla flavours. Smooth with good body. Great with a casserole and barbequed burgers, chops and steaks with all the trimmings.
Wine Review - Mail on SundayThere is so much good-value wine coming out of the Languedoc these days. This is no exception and is made by the very reputable Paul Mas group. Medium weight with lovely blackberry and vanilla flavours and a hint of spice.
Evening HeraldThe two wines from Domaine CaudeVal, a group of family-owned estates in Languedoc, punched above their weight for the €7.99 ask
The Merlot, in particular, surprised with its quality, being clean, soft and Bordeaux-like, good for drinking with food or on its own as an informal tripple.
