Fontan Tattoo Tannat-MerlotVignobles Fontan produce this succulent wine from the Cotes de Gascogne region of south west France. Grapes are macerated for 5 days and must heated to extract the full flavour rather than the tannin. This creates a wine that has an intense and fruity nose with sweet plummy notes and ripe blackberry. Dark rounded fruit on the palate with hints of red cherry and violets on a luscious finish. Try with simply prepared red meats, barbecue dishes or strong

summery tipple

Try with crab cakes
