Winemaking and ageing
The grapes are harvested by hand and transported in small crates to the winery. The berries are destemmed and sorted to eliminate all vegetal parts of the cluster. A cold pre-fermentation maceration is carried out for 5 to 8 days with regular punching down (pigeage). At the start of alcoholic fermentation, punching down is performed, which is then gradually replaced by pumping over (remontage) to better control the extraction of aromas and tannins. Pressing is gentle using a pneumatic press. Malolactic fermentation and ageing for 9 to 12 months take place in French oak barrels. Finally, the wines from the different barrels are blended after racking.
Tasting note
Ruby red colour with light copper reflections. Nose dominated
by very intense aromas of small berry fruits (raspberry,
redcurrant), mingled with some
toasted notes. Tender, fruity and finely
spiced palate. Fine and silky tannins, exceptional structure.
Long and fruity finish.
Storage
Keep away from sunlight and at a constant temperature

Your questions about our wines
Each product page provides a food and wine pairing suggestion suited to the cuvée. Our online tasting assistant can also advise you based on your menu.
The ageing potential depends on the cuvée and vintage — it is specified in this wine's technical sheet. In general, our wines for ageing and fine wines can be kept for more than 10 years, or even over 100 years for our fortified sweet wines, whilst our lighter cuvées, intended to be enjoyed young, are best appreciated within 2 to 3 years of purchase.
The alcohol content (% vol.) varies by cuvée and vintage; it is listed in the product’s technical data sheet, below the description.
The majority of our red, white and rosé wines are dry. Our natural sweet wines (Rivesaltes, Maury...) and certain crémants are sweet or semi-dry. The style (dry/sweet) of this cuvée is specified in its description.
The grape varieties, appellation and terroir of origin are indicated in this product’s technical data sheet.
Like almost all wines, our cuvées contain sulphites (naturally present during fermentation, sometimes added in small quantities as a preservative). Details (“no added sulphites”, level, etc.) are specified on this product’s technical data sheet and on the back label.
Many Gérard Bertrand cuvées are vegan certified (100% plant-based fining agents, no products of animal origin). This wine’s vegan status is indicated in its certifications on the product page.
A large proportion of our production is certified Organic Agriculture and/or Biodynamic (Demeter). The certifications applicable to this cuvée are listed on its product page under “Certifications”.
As a general rule: 8-10°C for rosés and light whites, 10-12°C for more complex whites, 16-18°C for reds. The most suitable serving temperature for this cuvée is also indicated on its technical sheet.
This depends on the wine and its age, as specified on the technical data sheet where relevant. As a general rule, our powerful age-worthy wines benefit from being decanted 30 minutes to 1 hour before tasting; lighter wines, whites and rosés can be served directly.
