✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Gerard Bertrand is a towering figure in the modern renaissance of Languedoc winemaking. A former professional rugby player, Bertrand inherited his passion for the vine from his father, Georges, and has since become a global champion of the region's diverse terroirs and biodynamic farming. The Reserve Speciale Syrah is a pure varietal expression sourced from select vineyards across the sun-drenched hillsides of the Pays d'Oc. Here, the Mediterranean climate is tempered by cooling maritime breezes, allowing the Syrah grapes to ripen fully while retaining vital acidity. The soils, a mosaic of limestone, clay, and schist, impart a subtle mineral complexity. In the cellar, the grapes undergo traditional maceration with precise temperature control to extract deep color and supple tannins, followed by partial aging in French oak. The result is a classic Southern French Syrah, boasting rich aromas of wild blackberries, violets, and a signature grind of black pepper.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Vinhuset Gérard Bertrand blev grundlagt i 1992 af den tidligere professionelle rugbyspiller af samme navn. Med udgangspunkt i familiens rødder på Domaine de Villemajou har huset udviklet sig til et globalt pejlemærke for den sydfranske region Languedoc-Roussillon. Hovedsædet ligger på Château l'Hospitalet i kystappellationen La Clape, hvorfra Gérard Bertrand går forrest med biodynamisk vinavl på tværs af hundredvis af hektar førsteklasses vinmarker. Gennem et kompromisløst fokus på biodiversitet, bæredygtighed og terroirets renhed skaber huset en alsidig portefølje af både stille vine, mousserende vine og hedvine. Vingården nyder international anerkendelse for ambitiøse prestigecuvéer som Cigalus, Clos d'Ora og Château l'Hospitalet samt for sine elegante tørre rosévine, udtryksfulde enkeltdruevine og historiske Vins Doux Naturels.
