Tout un Fromage Merlot 2023

FranceTout un Fromage, or the whole cheese, is a nod to exaggeration in French, but it fits this red that delivers in the classic Boutinot style: soft, delicious, and authentic. This Pays d’Oc red is a pleasure to drink and write about. Clean, authentic, savoury, and supple, it is as juicy and alive as any merlot that sells for under $20, including a hefty markup by the government and likely the retailer. Chicken pizza, ribs, grilled sausages, empanadas, the list of food it will accompany is endless. It's probably an 88, but I'm going with an 89, so folks will give it a chance.
