Gerard Bertrand Cote des Roses Sauvignon Blanc
750ml
TASTING NOTES
This cuvée has a pale golden and crystalline colour. A beautiful roundness on the palate is brought by the terroirs of the South of France, which allow it to develop notes of guava and passion fruit, while its citrus fruit aromas bring a lot of freshness and minerality.
Serving temperature: 8-10 ° C.
PRODUCER
Gerard Bertrand is one of the most renowned winemakers in southern France, with numerous awards among the most prestigious Languedoc-Roussillon cruises. In 2012, he received the title "Producer of the Year for Red Wines" from IWC, as well as "European Cellar of the Year" from Wine Enthusiast.

VINEYARD
Gerard Bertrand has made a strong commitment to sustainable soil development, applying Terra Vitis standards and growing his vines organically. Biodynamic farming is used in eight of the winery's properties. The soils are very diverse, mainly with hard limestone, but also gravel brought from the rivers of the Languedoc region.
VINIFICATION
To obtain the intensity that characterizes this grape variety, Sauvignon needs to be picked at a specific time. The grapes are tasted before harvesting and then picked during the night to preserve the freshness of the fruit before being delicately pressed on arrival at the winery. During approximately 5 months, about 10% of the wine is vinified in French barrels, while the rest is put into thermo-regulated vats at low temperature to preserve the richness and freshness of the aromas. Finally, after a light fining, the wine is bottled quite early in order to preserve the fresh and fruity character of the wines.
FOOD
Suitable as an aperitif or with fish and mussels.
