✨ Technical Specifications
G rard Bertrand's 'Source of Joy' is an organic ros that beautifully captures the vibrant spirit and sunny terroir of the Languedoc region in Southern France. Crafted primarily from a classic Mediterranean blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault, this cuv e is inspired by the concept of returning to nature and celebrating the joyful, mindful art of living. The grapes are sourced from carefully selected organic vineyards where clay-limestone soils and cooling maritime breezes preserve a bright acidity and distinct mineral backbone. Vinified with gentle direct pressing and low-temperature fermentation to preserve its delicate floral, citrus, and fresh red-berry aromas, this wine reflects Bertrand's deep commitment to biodiversity and ecological harmony in the Languedoc.
