On the nose, this wine offers enticing aromas of dark berries, such as blackberry and black cherry, accompanied by hints of spice and earthiness. The Syrah grape brings a touch of black pepper and violet notes, while the Carignan adds depth and structure. Mourvedre contributes to the wine's complexity with its dark fruit flavors and subtle herbal undertones.
The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a well-balanced acidity. Flavors of ripe black fruits, such as plum and blackcurrant, dominate, complemented by nuances of black olives and dried herbs. The oak aging process adds a touch of vanilla and subtle smokiness, enhancing the wine's overall complexity.
This e is a wine that can be enjoyed now but also has the potential to age gracefully. It pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Gérard Bertrand
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.CUSTOMER RATING
