About This Wine
Chanmé Méchant
Merlot
The name Chanmé Méchant is what is called a “verlan.” It’s slang that inverts syllables to create new words with fun meanings. This comes from combining the French words Chanmé “excellent” and Méchant “wicked” that when put together mean “wicked good.” It’s a fitting name for this delicious wine, which comes from a location that prides itself on its environmentally friendly viticulture and natural biodiversity. Restrained notes of fruit play off of the elegant structure and texture. We think that this wine is the perfect match for red meats, duck, and spicy chicken dishes. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver medal at the 2018 Harvest Challenge.
