Here are two Gérard Bertrand Côte des Roses wines for you to try. The Grenache-Vermentino-Viognier 2020 and the Grenache-Syrah-Cinsault 2021 Rosé. The Rosé has been around for a while and has been a favourite of many people. Both wines come in a very distinctive and beautiful bottle with a rose petal-shaped base. Instead of cork, Gérard Bertrand is using a glass stopper to make a very classy bottle, plus wine inside. In case you did not know, all of Gérard Bertrand’s vineyards and wines are made following biodynamic principles. Let me tell you about these two wines.
My Wine Tasting Notes
Gérard Bertrand Côte des Roses Grenache-Vermentino-Viognier 2020 (BC $24.99)
Appearance: A medium-intensity, clear, bright lemon colour.
Nose: Medium-intensity aromas of sweet ripe stone fruits, peaches, honey, blossom and a hint of mint. No change to the aromas after decanting.
Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, with a lightly round mouthfeel. Higher acidity leaves a light acidic prickle on your tongue. Light stone fruit flavours, plus touches of stoniness, delicious apple, pear and blossom with air. Dryish with a rounder, thicker mouthfeel with decanting. No change to flavours.
Finish: A medium-plus length finishing dry with stone fruits, apples, stoniness and a touch of pepperiness. A bit more peppery after decanting.
A tasty, fruity, easy-to-drink white blend. No major change with decanting. Open and enjoy.
