Gérard Bertrand

Cote des Roses Sauvignon Blanc

This Cote des Roses Sauvignon Blanc cuvée celebrates the Mediterranean Art of Living. The soil, very varied, consists essentially of hard limestone from the garrigues, schist soils but also gravels brought by the rivers and streams of Languedoc. The warm, windy climate (“semi-arid Mediterranean climate with mild winter variation”) favors the ripening of the grapes and their healthy condition, while retaining freshness thanks to the altitude and the effect of the sea, which mitigates high summer temperatures.
This cuvée boasts a lovely yellow colour with golden tints. It is fresh and intense on the nose, revealing aromas of citrus and exotic fruits, flowers, and a few notes of candy, pear, and pineapple. The fresh, flavorsome palate is lively, precise and pure thanks to the clear mineral backdrop and a certain opulence.
