Gerard Bertrand Domaine de Cigalus Rouge 2022

Gérard Bertrand Domaine de Cigalus Rouge 2022 is an exceptional, biodynamically farmed red blend that brilliantly showcases the innovative spirit and unique terroir of the South of France. A masterful, unconventional marriage of classic Bordeaux and Mediterranean varietals, this wine pours an intense, deep ruby color with subtle mahogany highlights. The bouquet is remarkably expressive and complex, offering a concentrated aromatic profile of very ripe black fruits, including blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, seamlessly interwoven with elegant notes of grilled spices, dried herbs, toasted oak, and a distinct hint of fresh mint. On the palate, it is lush, full-bodied, and incredibly opulent, framed by beautifully velvety, perfectly integrated tannins. A vibrant core of dark berry fruit is balanced by a precise structure and a incredibly long, sophisticated finish, making this a truly harmonious and captivating wine.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roasted rack of lamb, slow-cooked beef stews, grilled ribeye steak, hearty mushroom dishes, or a selection of mature artisan cheeses.

This layered red blend would flatter many a meal. Toasted red cherry tart and muddled strawberry aromas are enhanced by hints of soy sauce and black olive on the nose. The restrained palate delves into pencil-lead shavings, dry grape stalk and semi-dry, barely-trodden earth.
