Blanchet Merlot

Blanchet is a prominent wine brand that originated in France during the 1980s, initially created to offer accessible, approachable French wines. Over the decades, the brand has expanded its portfolio to include international grape varieties sourced from renowned wine-growing regions like Chile.

As of 2026, the brand remains a core part of the Rotkäppchen-Mumm portfolio. While the brand carries a French name and heritage, the specific product in the image is a Chilean Merlot, indicating that the wine is cultivated and produced in Chile before being bottled or distributed under the Blanchet label. The brand's ownership shifted significantly in 2009 when it was acquired from Racke by the German industry leader Rotkäppchen-Mumm Sektkellereien.
