They have a lot of power and strength...yet they are soft and round" - Dr Paul Pontallier, director Chateau Margaux and consultant to Plaisir de Merle since 1990Plaisir de merle dates back to 1687 when the French Huguenot, Charles Marais and his family were granted land by the Governor Simon van der Stel. Today Plaisir de Merle is one of the Cape's largest wine farms comprising 974 hectares and is renowned for it's exclusive quality wines.Plaisir de merle is situated on the east-facing slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain between Paarl and Franschhoek.Winemaker, Niel Bester, was there when the cellar opened it's doors in 1993.
