Gérard Bertrand La Forge 2011
Corbières, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceFrom the cellar. So, the last time GOW tasted this wine was in 2013. So wonderful to have a historical record from Stuart and Anthony from then, to taste this against now. La Forge is a four-hectare site at Domaine de Villemajou, in the middle of the Boutenac sub-appellation of Corbières. This is based on 100+ year old carignan vines, spiced with syrah. George Bertrand has said this is his favourite red, but don't let that colour your judgement. This leads with a graphite/herbal note, melting into ripe, dense, sunripened plum, blackberry jam, dried blueberry, running a plushly silken palate, gilded with alcohol (14.5), but still surprisingly bright with acidity. Drinking well now, and most especially with richer beef or root veg dishes.Tasted: 03 April 2020Tasted by: Prices:| 80.00 | $0.00 | 750ml | release price |
