La Tulipe Merlot

Always good, this full-fruited, medium-bodied red wine. The French drink this with everything that comes to the table, from the starter salad to the cheese platter. Color, taste: red, smooth Grape variety: merlot Country, region: France, Pays d'Oc Nice with: Pasta, Pork Awarded: The Great Hamersma 8+ La Tulipe is the name of a series of tasty wines from France. This smooth red wine made from the merlot grape comes from the Languedoc. It is full of fruity juice, think ripe cherry and red currant, complemented by a hint of spice. Because of its smooth structure, it is nice for sipping, but it has enough body for a spaghetti bolognese or a spicy meatball. It is suitable to drink at room temperature, which makes it come across soft, but you can also chill it slightly, then you taste its fruit even better.
