Description

Juicy ripe plum, fresh wild cherry with a hint of dried herbs & grass, balanced with gentle acidity and velvety tannins. Early harvest Merlot, slowly cold fermented. Produced with minimal intervention: sustainable and vegan. Serve at room temperature. Will benefit from decanting when young.

Mon Nom is the expression of the fruit and only the fruit. No oak, no makeup. Only the Merlot reveals their terroir in this wine, nothing else. Produced from a plot called "L'église", cold fermented to maximise the fruit expression. Mon Nom is a concentrate of Castillon at its best: freshness, elegance and character.

At Château Picoron, they explore the potential of the great grape that is Merlot. All grown in plots surrounding the Château. The wines are not blended, each is produced from a single plot of grapes, from their 4.5ha vineyard. An honest expression of terroir on the famous Saint-Émilion clay & limestone ridge.

The wines are made following the Ouvipo philosophy (Ouvroir de Vins Potentiels). Made honouring natural and self-imposed constraints. The constraints of their region, Bordeaux, its varietals and the changing climate are the catalyst for the creation.
