✨ Technical Specifications
G rard Bertrand's Cote des Roses series celebrates the Mediterranean lifestyle and the beautiful coastal terroir of the Languedoc. The Pinot Noir from the IGP Pays d'Oc benefits from a landscape where the warm Mediterranean sun is tempered by cool sea breezes, allowing this notoriously finicky grape to develop its signature red-fruit character while maintaining vibrant acidity. The wine's iconic bottle is a work of art in itself, featuring a base sculpted in the shape of a rose, created by a young designer from the cole Boulle as an homage to the wild roses that grow near the coastal vineyards. Vinified with a focus on preserving fresh fruit, the wine undergoes careful temperature-controlled fermentation to highlight notes of cherry, wild raspberry, and a touch of sweet spice, capturing the poetic, relaxed essence of the South of France.
