Bernard Magrez, Le Domaine des Songes Rouge, Bergerac, 2015

Located directly east of Bordeaux, Bergerac cultivates many of the same varietals as its more esteemed neighbour. However, despite this wine being 100% Merlot it is light years away from the right-bank style. A bombastic nose of rich red fruit supported by oak. Tannins are ripe and the palate is lush with layers of plummy, sweet fruit.
