Gérard Bertrand Côte des Roses Pinot Noir 2021 13% Vol. 0,75l

This cuvée Cote des Roses celebrates the Mediterranean Art de Vivre. 

The soil, very varied, is essentially made up of hard limestone of the garrigues, schistose soils but also of gravel brought by the rivers of 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!

Mouth

Pinot Noir is delicate and demanding, it is capable of producing red wines of great finesse. It gives rather round and fruity wines, to be drunk young. On the palate it offers a velvety texture with a beautiful amplitude, silky tannins and an elegant and balanced finish.

Custodial and Service Tips

To be enjoyed between 15 and 16°C with roasted or grilled meats, chicken tagine or mature cheeses

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at the end of September at perfect maturity. The yield is controlled to obtain a good concentration and elegant tannins. The grapes are separated from the stalks by destemming before being put in vats for a 10 to 15 day maceration. The gentle extraction of polyphenols is carried out by punching down and pumping over following a daily tasting. The wine is partially aged in 225-liter barrels for several months to bring aromatic complexity while respecting the fruit and elegance of this variety.
