2021 Gerard Bertrand
Grenache, Syrah, Carignan
It was in 1975, in the vines of the Château de Villemajou at the heart of the Corbières, France that Gérard Bertrand harvests its first grapes and discovers its passion for wine. He will perfect his apprenticeship during twelve years at the side of his father Georges Bertrand. Very attached to the values of performance and excellence learned on the rugby fields, Gérard Bertrand continues his quest: to reveal the best terroirs of his region, produce the best wines and promote them throughout the world.
The work begins in the vineyard with a selection of the most suitable plots of land to produce this type of wine. The grapes are mainly hand-harvested. A double sorting system is carried out in the vineyard and in the cellar. The vinification is traditional, and the grapes are therefore destemmed before the maceration phase, which lasts between 3 and 4 weeks. The grapes are then pressed before the malolactic fermentation. A third of the wine is aged for 9 months in barrels, the rest being kept in vats for freshness.
A deep, bright color. The nose reveals a rich range of black fruit, licorice, truffle and black olive aromas. On the palate, the wine offers power, volume, density and a solid structure, with lots of freshness, elegance and silky tannins. A full-bodied, sophisticated wine. Ideal with grilled peppers, grilled pork or matured cheeses. Age for the next 5 years.
