« I’m Cérès. Goddess of agriculture, harvest and fertility. I watch over the vines of each estate of Chéreau-Carré, all along their cycles.
My favorite grape variety is Merlot.
Very productive and known all over the world, Merlot is tasty and intense. When tasted young, it brings rich black fruits flavors. »
