About Gerard Bertrand 2021 Sauvignon Blanc, Cotes Des Roses, Languedoc
Cote des Roses celebrates the Mediterranean lifestyle. The Languedoc appellation stretches along the Mediterranean coast. The soils are highly varied, mainly with hard limestone and schist, but also gravel transported by the rivers of the Languedoc region. The bottle is original with its base in the shape of a rose, created by a young designer from the Ecole Boulle. A wine to be given in the same way you would offer a bunch of roses!
To obtain the intensity that characterizes this grape variety, the Sauvignon needs to be picked at a specific time. The grapes are tasted before the harvest and then picked during the night to preserve the freshness of the fruit before being delicately pressed at the winery. During approximately 5 months, about 10 of the wine is vinified in French barrels, while the rest is put into thermo regulated vats at low temperature to preserve the richness and freshness of the aromas. Finally, after a light fining, the wine is bottled quite early in order to preserve the fresh and fruity character of the wines.
Wine Enthusiast Magazine designated this a Best Buy and scored it 91 points saying "This wine has a bouquet of grapefruit, passion fruit and a touch of fennel. Strong minerality, with flavors of melon, ripe pineapple and grapefruit and a saline finish."
