Gérard Bertrand Côte des Roses Sauvignon Blanc IGP 0,75l

This Cote des Roses celebrates the Mediterranean Art de Vivre . The soil, which is very varied, is essentially made up of hard limestone from the garrigues, schistose soils but also gravel brought by the rivers of the Languedoc. 

The climate, warm and windy ("semi-arid Mediterranean climate with mild winter variations") favors the maturation of the grapes and their good health, while maintaining coolness thanks to the altitude and the effect of the sea, which attenuates the high summer temperatures. 

Its bottle is unique with a rose-shaped bottom, created by a young designer from the Ecole Boulle. 

It is a wine that is offered as a bouquet of Rose!

Vinification

To obtain the intensity that characterizes this grape variety, Sauvignon needs to be picked at a precise moment. The grapes are tasted before harvest and then picked overnight to preserve the freshness of the fruit before being gently pressed upon arrival at the winery. During approximately 5 months, about 10% of the wine is vinified in French barrels, while the rest is put in 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.
