Gérard Bertrand Corbières Boutenac La Forge (2020)

The plots intended for this exceptional vintage come from a Miocene ridge, located on a unique and limited site called “La Forge” by the land registry. The blend of the two grape varieties gives this vintage: a beautiful aromatic expression and reveals the nobility of the wine through the Carignan. The Villemajou estate is the historical cradle of the Gérard Bertrand family and has been the spearhead of the Boutenac appellation, the first classified growth of the Corbières recognized by the INAO, the National Institute of Appellations of Origin.

This wine has a dark robe, the color of ripe cherry. The explosive nose opens with notes of black Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, toasted bread, spices, and cloves. With great sweetness, the very ample palate reveals powerful and elegant aromas, evoking jammy red fruits. It is a very fine wine with soft tannins and a spicy finish.
