Tasting Note

Intense ruby colour with a mahogany hue. The bouquet shouts concentrated, very ripe black fruit, grilled spice and toasted oak. The palate is lush and opulent with velvety tannins. The aromas of black fruit -blackberries, black cherries and plums - reappear with a complex empyreumatic web leading into mint. The finish is long with a perfect balance. Serve at 16°C, perfect with roasted red meat, poultry "en sauce" or ripened cheeses

Product Notes

Gérard Bertrand Cigalus Rouge is a red wine crafted by the renowned winemaker, Gérard Bertrand, from the Languedoc region of France. The wine is made using a blend of traditional grape varieties, including Syrah, Carignan, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, and is aged for 12 to 14 months in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a deep ruby color with aromas of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied with flavors of blackberry, black cherry, and a touch of cocoa. It has firm tannins and a long, smooth finish. This wine is perfect for pairing with roasted meats or hearty stews.

About the Winery

Gérard Bertrand

The story of Gérard Bertrand remains closely linked with three generations of the Bertrand family. The wine estate and winemaking craft have remained associated with the renowned winegrowers Paule, Georges, and Gérard Bertrand, getting passed down through generations. The winery’s fame started coming into light in 1975 when Georges Bertrand took his then ten-year-old son, Gérard, to harvest grapes on the Château de Villemajou in the Corbières wine appellation.
