2020 Gerard Bertrand Heritage Tautavel

Decanter

In stock

A ripe and juicy red from the village of Tautavel, in the Cotes de Roussillon of Mediterranean France. Here stony soils, shelter from rain and a little altitude provide a magnificent climate for the modern Southern French style. Ripe Syrah leads, with Grenache filling in and local Carignon adding extra colour and structure. Enjoy now or cellar, this is superbly drinkable and serious value at this price.

$29.99 in mixed 6+ or $33.99 per bottle

Its Origins

Wine Enthusiast named his winery Europe’s best in 2011, but Gerard Bertrand began as a rugby player representing 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.

What The Critics Say

91/100 Parker's Wine Advocate, Joe Czerwinski

"A blend of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah, the 2020 Côtes du Roussillon Villages Tautavel An 560 features appealing raspberry and cherry aromas, even some delicate rose and strawberry notes. It's oaked, but not over-oaked, full-bodied, supple and a bit creamy textured in the mouth, finishing long and lush." Drink 2022 - 2027

Dry and full-bodied, this vibrant red is produced from a blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan grapes sourced from vines growing in pebbly and limestone soils. Look for ripe dark fruits, dark cherry, smoky garrigue herbs and pepper spice flavours concentrated on the palate. Enjoy with roast chicken, rare steak, rustic stew, game pot pie."
