Cherry cordial and black licorice, with pepper, cinnamon and a line of dark chocolate. Pierre Zéro Merlot was wine first — a French Merlot from Maison Chavin, gently dealcoholized. Soft in structure and balanced in profile, it is built to be the bottle you open on a Tuesday without thinking about it. The nose is sweet and fruity with earthy undertones. The palate lifts with pepper and cinnamon before subtle chocolate closes it out. A little natural sediment may settle — that is the wine being left alone, not a fault.
