Gérard Bertrand An 462 2023
Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceGérard Bertrand is a superior marketer, as evidenced by the estimated price and quality of this introductory syrah-grenache. 462 marks the year the Visigoths began their prosperous reign in Languedoc. The palace remnants are honoured by the Bertrand emblem, with the dove cross, a symbol of sharing and brotherhood, on every label. The blend is harvested manually and separately to achieve optimum maturity. After fermentation, a portion of the wine matures in 225 litre Bordeaux barrels for about ten months. The spicy cedar nose and velvety smooth red and black fruit perfectly express the Languedoc, with a dusting of garrigue that adds depth and complexity to the final picture. Hard to ask for more at this price, and even harder to find it in Canada.Tasted: 06 September 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $19.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
