Gérard Bertrand ‘Cigalus’ Rouge 2020, Sud de France

Gérard Bertrand is one of the most outstanding winemakers in the South of France, where he owns numerous estates among the most prestigious crus of Languedoc Roussillon. Formerly the IWC Red Winemaker of the Year and Wine Enthusiast’s European Winery of the Year, he is known locally as the “King” of the Languedoc. 20 years of expertise ensures that wines bearing Gérard Bertrand’s signature have a unique style, driven by the values of excellence, authenticity, conviviality and innovation.

An intense and concentrated wine with complex aromas of ripe black fruit and unfolding notes of grilled spice and toasted French oak. The palate is lush and opulent with velvety tannins and aromas of blackberries, black cherries and plums through to a beautifully balanced finish. This wine is from the exceptional 2020 vintage and is now drinking wonderfully, although it can be cellared for a few years yet, if you have the patience!
