Gérard Bertrand Château de Villemajou Grand Vin Rouge 2022
Corbières, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceGerard Bertrand describes the Villemajou Grand Vin as the company's DNA. He grew up on the property where his father established the Bertrand destiny. Villemajou is located well within the Corbières appellation at Boutenac, an area that supports ancient, rehabilitated carignan vines now approaching 80 to 100 years old and seemingly uniquely suited to the Mediterranean milieu of temperature, soil and light, as well as the trio of syrah, mourvèdre, and grenache noir. The nose is an enticing mix of black fruit dusted with savoury, smoky, menthol and licorice notes commonly called garrigue in the south. The palate is voluptuous without being heavy, respecting the vitality of biodynamic wines. Roast lamb is the match. Yields average about 30 hl/ha. Picking is by hand, and a small portion is fermented as whole bunches to lift the fruit component before it's aged in 22 -litre Bordeaux barrels for a year. It spends an additional 12 months in a bottle before release. 2022 is a classic expression of the property, resurrecting Gerard's father’s name.Tasted: 11 March 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $60.00 | 750ml | estimated retail price |
