Chateau Civrac: Élément 2009
100% Merlot, but made in a light and fruity style. Light body, and light tannin. Easy-going but absolutely spot-on and decidedly better than many low-priced Merlots, offering a very decent level of complexity. 12%

Chateau Civrac is a fusion of the quality of the old world, but with the approachability of the new. "Our wine is a classic blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and malbec but made in a contemporary and honest style.
Our wine is hand harvested to get the best flavours, maturing the wine in new oak barrels and minimising any chemical treatments. It is a pleasure to drink with or without food."
We are taking a very high quality, but respectful approach to winemaking, a "slow" approach, including hand harvesting and minimising any chemical treatments. This is leading to a fusion wine of distinctive quality.
