Wine description
- Cuvée paying tribute to the father of Gérard Bertrand, who adored this plot of old Carignan vines, some of which are over 100 years old
- The name Forge comes from the land registry; on the plot can be found all the elements needed for forging: wood for the fire and water to cool the metal
- With great breadth, the palate reveals powerful and elegant aromas evoking "confiturés" red fruits. This is a very great wine with a high ageing potential (20 years)
Food & Wine pairings suggested by our chef

Winemaking and ageing
La forge was Georges Bertrand's favourite plot, home to century-old Carignan and old Syrah vines. From his very first harvests, biting into the grapes and walking the rows with his father, Gérard Bertrand had sensed the quality of skin and tannins that the age of the vines imparts to the grapes they yield. Alongside his father, he learned the pursuit of excellence through attention to a thousand and one details. "If you want to plough a straight furrow, hitch your plough to a star" (Guy de la Rigaudie). This is Gérard Bertrand's quest to carry on the work begun by his father. "La forge is the true alchemy of grape and terroir and everything I know today. It resembles no other and reveals the personality of Georges Bertrand."
Tasting note
With a deep, ripe cherry-coloured robe,
the explosive nose opens on notes of toasted
bread, spices and clove.
With great sweetness, the very ample palate
reveals powerful and elegant aromas evoking
jammy red fruits.
This is a very great wine with soft tannins and
a spiced finish.
Storage
Keep away from sunlight and at a constant temperature
