Why do we love it?
Chateau Julia Merlot Domaine Costa Lazaridi is a world-class Greek red wine by the famous, flying oenologist, Michel Rolland! Michel Rolland is based on Bordeaux and knows how to create wine - miracles with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon!
Chateau Julia Merlot Domaine Costa Lazaridi is one of his miracles, which is one of the most classic and timeless Greek wines. Its base is the grapes from the vineyards of the estate in Drama, which are harvested only when they reach the perfect ripening point. This is followed by classic red vinification and maturation in French oak barrels (40% new), for at least 12 months. Its impressive structure and complexity, triggered a rain of medals and awards every year. Costas Lazaridis was probably right to trust Michel Rolland to create his epic, red wines!
Chateau Julia Merlot Domaine Costa Lazaridi is a wine for your bloody bbq nights!
