▸ Off-duty, wind-cleansed Merlot

▸ 20-40-year vines. Urban cellar.

▸ City cellar vs Country vines.

Mediterranean Merlot without added sulfites, fermented and settled in stainless steel. Mistral winds keep the fruit clean, so a slight chill is all it needs after work.

After 23 years importing organic Rhône wine in Shanghai, Marseille native Lionel Boillot built a 40-m² chai on the Vieux-Port to vinify fruit from nearby limestone plots. This Merlot ferments with no added sulfites and stays in stainless, keeping texture silky and tannins gentle. Urban wine, Mediterranean pulse.
