Gerard Bertrand Chateau La Sauvageonne La Villa Rose 2021

Gérard Bertrand Château La Sauvageonne La Villa Rosé 2021 is an exceptional, biodynamic luxury rosé from the Languedoc region of France. Strikingly complex and gastronomy-focused, this wine often exhibits the power and structure more reminiscent of a fine white wine than a typical rosé. It delivers a rich bouquet of crushed strawberries, sweet baking spices, violets, and hawthorn. On the palate, it is full-bodied, generous, and velvety, perfectly balanced by a revitalizing acidity, mineral tension, and a distinctly saline finish derived from its unique volcanic schists and ruffes soils.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roasted poultry, grilled sea bass, savory warm appetizers, seared scallops, or fresh goat cheeses.

91 Points - James Suckling

A very pale rose that might have lost some pigments, but that doesn’t affect the quality. Vanilla, white nectarines, citrus, flowers and spices on the nose. Pretty full-bodied and fruity, with a creamy mid-palate followed by a mineral edge to the long, creamy finish. Dense and lightly structured. From organically and biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now.

91 Points - Wine Spectator

An ultra-pale, concentrated rosé, with a crystal-clear beam of fruit -- juicy white peach and delicate apple -- driven by racy acidity. Offers mineral, floral notes and dried green herbs that line the palate, with the subtlest briny edge. A well-built, vibrant wine. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Vermentino and Viognier. Drink now through 2025.
