The Gérard Bertrand Cigalus IGP 2022 is a powerful, expressive red wine from the south of France that impressively embodies Gérard Bertrand's philosophy: biodynamic viticulture at the highest level, combined with character, elegance and fullness. This iconic wine from the Languedoc, more precisely from the IGP Aude Hauterive, is one of the house's flagship wines and is produced on the Domaine de Cigalus vineyard, which has been consistently cultivated biodynamically for years.

The cuvée combines international and regional grape varieties in perfect balance - typically Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet Franc, Mourvèdre and Caladoc - which are all vinified individually and then masterfully blended. Maturation takes place partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in new barriques, resulting in a harmonious blend of power, density and elegant wood flavours. The 2022 vintage is particularly sun-kissed, ripe and structured, with high concentration and impressive depth of flavour.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Cigalus is a deep purple-red colour with violet reflections. The nose is intense and complex with aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries and cherries, accompanied by roasted coffee, liquorice, vanilla and oriental spices. Powerful, full-bodied and silky on the palate with polished tannins, dense fruit and a long, harmonious Langs. A wine with opulence and structure that nevertheless retains its freshness.

Drinking temperature: 16 °C

An ideal accompaniment to rack of lamb, braised beef, wild poultry, mature hard cheese or mushroom dishes with truffle oil. Even when drunk on its own, it develops its full depth and aromatic complexity in a large glass. The Gérard Bertrand Cigalus is a meditation wine for special occasions - modern, biodynamic, powerful and impressively balanced.
