1833 C. Redding Hist. Mod. Wines v. 141 The vine plants most cultivated in the canton of Bourg are the merlot, the carminet, the mancin, the teinturier, the petit chalosse noire, and..the prolongeau.

1888 Encycl. Brit. XXIV. 604/2 The vines of the Cabernet species..are not so greatly used as the Merlot, which is very productive, and not so liable to attacks from Oidium.

1926 P. M. Shand Bk. Wine v. 88 The grapes are cabernet, merlot, malbec; and one vineyard has a chateau built by Richelieu.
