Details
Domaine Canet have produced a Merlot with plenty of personality, bursting with blue fruit and dark chocolate. It is expressive and vibrant with a deep purple colour and plenty of structure.

Château Canet is a modern winery located in the heart of the Languedoc, in the renowned region of Minervois. Floris and Victoria have owned the estate and winery since 2007 after spending time in Burgundy. The estate, and name of the winery dates back to 1126 and today is used as a site for quintessential French winery weddings. Floris likes to keep a modern edge to the winery, focusing on bright styles of wines that mix in seamlessly with the traditional Minervois classics. The Domaine Canet range drew the eye of our wine buying team when tasting these delights in France. They are a range of single variety wines from the family estate that are smartly packaged and show clean and modern winemaking. Too often, you have regions that only focus on traditional styles however these wines buck that trend, with some Malbec, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also making up the mix aside from classic Syrah and Cabernet Merlot. We hope you enjoy the first look at these wines on Aussie shores.

Pairing guide
You really can’t beat a juicy, plush southern French Merlot when meal times roll around, and this beautifully luxuriant bottle from Domaine Canet certainly hits all the right spots. Like most Merlot wines, this one works particularly well with fattier meats like lamb and duck - if you can get your hands on some confit duck legs, you’re onto a real winner. Garlicky vegetables, heartier rice dishes like wild mushroom risotto, steak and chips with a peppery sauce, game meats like venison and ‘roo, and all kinds of strong and blue cheeses will also work a treat.
