Corbieres wine, Languedoc-Roussillon's leading appellation
AOC Corbières wine: the Languedoc-Roussillon champion
As the Languedoc-Roussillon's leading appellation in terms of volume, the Corbières vineyards are a must for the wines of southern France. Located in the heart of the Pays Cathare, in the south of the Aude department, the Corbières mid-mountain massif has always produced wines of character.
Its atypical terroir enables it to create unique wines. The soil combines schist and limestone, while the climate, though Mediterranean, is particularly harsh. In this context, only the most resilient grape varieties can flourish in the Cathar climate. Part of the Héritage winerange, this bottle of Corbières red wine is named "An 806" in honor of Château de Peyrepertuse, one of the most emblematic monuments in the Cathar region.
Gérard Bertrand wanted, like the other bottles of wine in the range (including An 990 Fitou or An 873 Minervois), this cuvée An 806 Corbières has been designed to reflect its terroir, history and origins. This Languedoc-Roussillon red wine brings out all the character of Corbières red wines.

Design and tasting of Corbières Gérard Bertrand wine
This Gérard Bertrand red wine is made from three grape varieties typical of Mediterranean vineyards: Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. The grapes for Cuvée An 806 Corbières are picked entirely by hand, and then destemmed. After malolactic fermentation, the three grape varieties are blended and matured in barriques (specially designed barrels) for 8 months.
Once bottled, the wine is stored for many months before being offered for sale.
This Corbières red wine is dense and elegant, just like its terroir, revealing all its characteristics. The nose is straightforward, with beautiful notes of wild herbs. On the palate, smoothness and creaminess prevail, with subtle flavors of spice, cinnamon and licorice.
What to serve with Corbières red wine?
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 mature cheeses.
