ILEX Vin de France 2023 — Luxury Alcohol Free Merlot 75cl

ILEX Vin de France 2023 is a luxury, single-varietal Merlot Vin de France — the very first alcohol-free wine to be produced in Saint-Émilion, crafted in exclusive partnership between low-alcohol specialists Wild Idol and the prestigious estate Château Franc Mayne.

Experience the Evolution of Fine Wine

ILEX delivers the complexity of a Grand Cru without the alcohol. Made from 100% estate-grown Merlot grapes from the exceptional 2023 vintage, ILEX undergoes a delicate, state-of-the-art dealcoholisation process that preserves the structural integrity, velvety tannins, and aromatic depth of a traditional Bordeaux red — sitting at just 0.5% ABV.

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma: Intense aromas of ripe plum, black cherry and a touch of mocha.
  • Palate: Smooth and rounded, with soft tannins and layers of red berry fruit, balanced by subtle notes of spice and cedar.
  • Finish: Elegant and persistent, clean and lingering.
  • Colour: Deep garnet.

Perfect For Mindful Connoisseurs

Whether you are moderating your intake, hosting an inclusive dinner party, or seeking a luxury gifting option, ILEX 2023 offers an uncompromised tasting experience. Pairs beautifully with roasted or grilled meats, grilled vegetables, and fine cheeses.
