Project Description
Cru D’exception
Cru D’exception Merlot
In the 1990s, the Bordeaux region witnessed the rise of “garage wines”—crafted from highly concentrated grapes grown on low-yield micro-terroirs through meticulous green harvesting. Vinified in small tanks or foudres, often inside actual garages, these wines followed customized, detail-oriented winemaking protocols. Conceived like fine perfumes, they are dense, complex, and built to age. In 2000, the Deicas family began producing varietal wines in this same haute couture style, thus creating the Cru d’Exception line.
 100% Merlot |
 Progreso – Canelones and Sierra de Mahoma – San José, Uruguay |
 Aged between 18 and 24 months in the same French oak barrels to complete the crafting process. |
 Intense in color, with a deep purple core and garnet highlights. |
 Refined aromas of anise, candied red fruits, and delicate pastry notes layered over a subtle oak backdrop. |
 A mature, pure expression of Merlot—silky and round, finishing with mocha, dark chocolate, and a gentle toasted nuance. |
 Serve between 13–17°C (55–63°F), ideally enjoyed at 16–20°C (61–68°F). Decant one hour prior to serving for optimal expression. |
