A Little about the Winemaker:

Gerard Bertrand quickly developed a wine business by selecting winemakers and estates that shared his sense of what was called for.  In order to express his talent as a winemaker beyond his native appellation of the Corbieres, he chose to invest in other wines of Languedoc with strong potential.

In 1994 he bought the Cigalus Vin de Pays d’Oc parcels, then three years later the 58 hectares of Chateau Laville-Bertrou in Minervois La Liviniere.  A forerunner in the Languedoc, Gerard Bertrand understood the evolution in consumer behavior towards expressive, well balanced and elegant wines. The prestige wines of Gerard Bertrand quickly became the quality reference in the opinion of the professionals.

In the footsteps of his father, Gerard has been contributing to the epic story of the Languedoc in these past years; he is the payee of the qualitative changes made to a good number of Languedoc terroirs and estates.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2011

Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2011

$49.49

Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Home of the world-famous Cotes de Rhone wine.

What does Châteauneuf-du-Pape taste like? Well, as in most French reds they have a distinct “Downtown” flavor: earthy, barnyard, wet socks with hints of tar, leather and tobacco. 
Tough and tannic while young, they grow to be great wines on the tongue and all surrounding areas, though in fact they could use some lay-down time to really enjoy...

 

The name Chateauneuf-du-Pape means 'new castle of the Pope' and refers to the fact

that the town was chosen as the new home for the Pope's court in the early 14th century.
