Fat Bastard Merlot is a full-bodied French Merlot from Pays d'Oc in Languedoc-Roussillon, made from 100% Merlot and bottled at 14% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. Created by Gabriel Meffre and Thierry & Guy, it comes from an accidental experiment with extended lees contact; grapes are sourced from stony soils, de-stemmed and crushed, then given two to three days of pre-cold maceration before fermentation with selected yeasts at 25–26°C.
The nose offers ripe black plum and dark cherry, coffee bean, licorice, caraway, black pepper and dried garrigue herbs. The palate is juicy and fruit-forward with concentrated plum and blackberry, soft ripe tannins, anise and baking spice. The finish is medium, velvety, with warm spice and a faint tobacco-leaf dryness, plus dried herbs.
