This Pinot Noir from the French winery Gerard Bertrand celebrates the Mediterranean lifestyle. This outstanding red wine has its origins in limestone and gravel, and the climate from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic also influences the ripening of the grapes, allowing them to ripen optimally and healthily. The wine undergoes a maturation phase in large wooden barrels, which contributes to its flavour development.
The bottle is original with its base in the shape of a rose, created by a young designer from the Ecole Boulle and is sealed with a glass cork.
Wine Enthusiast named his winery Europe’s best in 2011, but Gerard Bertrand began as a rugby player for France and Narbonne. It wasn’t until the early death of his father that he returned to take the reigns of the family operation, Domaine de Villemajou in Boutenac, Corbieres. He soon identified the potential of the Languedoc-Roussillon to produce rich yet bright, modern wines suited to world market trends and from there began acquiring labels and properties across the region. Balancing an organic and increasingly biodynamic viticulture with an evangelical zeal for exporting his Mediterranean ‘Art de Vivre’, Gerard Bertrand has quickly become one of the most important champions of that which epitomises Southern French wine of today: superb quality in quantity.
