.... is, along with Cabernet Sauvignon, the main ingredient in Bordeaux wines. The difference is that Merlot wines develop faster and thus give drinkable clear wines faster. The grape is produced primarily on the right side of the Gironde river and is used in Pomerol and St Emilion wines, which are softer and more round than the production on the left side of the river, where Cabernet Sauvignon is mainly used. However, it has become more widespread on the left bank of the river to use a greater proportion of Merlot in the wines. The grape has a low tannin content and has aromatic notes of truffle, dark berries and coffee.
