This merlot hails from the stone-strewn Coteaux du Pont du Gard in south central France. Though the region ripens the grapes used in this wine quite well, the flavors presented are delicate and subtle. Think nuance vs boldness or power, and think food! Try it with roast chicken or thinly sliced sauteed steak with herb butter and mushrooms.
The wine region of Languedoc is quite vast, encompassing much of the Mediterranean coastline of France, as well as reaching quite far inward. To the east, it abuts the southern Rhone and Provence regions, and the wines reflect that in their structured blends. To the west, the region divides further, with Bordeaux-influenced wines to the north, and Catalunian-influences to the south. This diversity (and relative cheapness of land) lends itself to a wine culture that is very playful. Lots of producers from other regions buy property here to experiment. In addition, there is an abundance of good, inexpensive wine that makes it to US shores from Languedoc, most with very "cheeky" names.
