Wine Corbieres

Leading appellation in Languedoc-Roussillon in terms of volume, the Corbières vineyard is a must for wines from the south of France.

Located in the heart of Cathar Country, in the south of the Aude department, the mid-mountain massif of Corbières has always produced wines of character.

Its atypical terroir allows it to create unique wines. Its soil thus combines schistose and limestone soils, while its climate, although Mediterranean, is particularly harsh. In this context, only the most resilient grape varieties can flourish in the Cathar climate.

As part of the Heritage wine range, this bottle of Corbières red wine is named “Year 806” in honor of the Château de Peyrepertuse, a of the most emblematic monuments of the sites of Cathar Country.

Gérard Bertrand wished, just like the other bottles of wine in the range, (let us mention in particular An 990 Fitou or An 873 Minervois ), this cuvée An 806 Corbières was designed to reflect its terroir, its history and its origins.

This red wine from Languedoc-Roussillon thus highlights all the character of the red wines of Corbières.

This Gérard Bertrand red wine is produced from three grape varieties typical of Mediterranean vineyards which are Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre.

The grapes for the cuvée An 806 Corbières are first picked entirely by hand, the bunches are then entirely destemmed.

After the malolactic fermentation phase, the three grape varieties are blended and go through a period of aging in barrels (a barrel specially designed for aging wine) for a period of 8 months.

Once bottled, the wine is kept for many months before being offered for sale.

This red wine from Corbières is dense and elegant, reflecting its terroir, all the characteristics of which it reveals.

The tasting is frank, its nose offers beautiful notes of wild plants.

On the palate, sweetness and creaminess prevail with subtle flavors of spices, cinnamon and licorice.

Good food and wine pairings allow the wine to express its full potential.With a good bottle of Corbières red wine, served at a temperature of 18°C, we recommend grilled red meats, simmered dishes, world cuisine dishes such as tajines, or even mature cheeses
