Merlot Mon Eglise – 2020

Markus Schneider Merlot MON ÉGLISE 2020 – Elegance from the Palatinate

The Markus Schneider Merlot MON ÉGLISE 2020 from the Palatinate is a red wine full of character, with intense depth and a unique story. The Merlot is cultivated in small vineyards around the estate, which are planted with select grape varieties from Pomerol. The vineyard sites near the former parish gardens (“Mon Église” means “My Church”) and their soils lend this wine its complex structure and extraordinary character.

On the palate, the Merlot MON ÉGLISE combines powerful notes of plum, black cherry, and cassis, along with vanilla and cocoa, underscored by a touch of earthiness reminiscent of forest floor and cedarwood, and a long, velvety finish with fine herbal spice. This dry red wine, with an alcohol content of 14% vol., pairs ideally with hearty meat dishes, game, or intense cheeses and unfolds its full potential best when stored in a cool place and enjoyed with care.
