In 1975, Gérard Bertrand began his grape harvest at Château de Villemajou in the Corbières, where he discovered his passion for wine. Over the course of twelve years, he honed his skills alongside his father Georges Bertrand until the fourth generation finally carried on the legacy. After the tragic death of his father in 1987, Gérard Bertrand took over the family management of the Domaine de Villemajou and founded the Gérard Bertrand wine company. The Gérard Bertrand Group comprises 16 wine estates and 16 châteaux along the Mediterranean coast of France, covering a total of 850 hectares. Some of the hand-picked grapes are matured in 225-litre Bordeaux barrels, while the other part is stored in stainless steel tanks.

The Côte des Roses, a tribute to the Mediterranean lifestyle, comes from the renowned Gérard Bertrand vineyard in the Languedoc region, along the Mediterranean coast to the Spanish border. The area benefits from a semi-arid Mediterranean climate, which creates ideal conditions for viticulture. The bottle design, created by a young designer from the French college École Boulle, features a bottle base in the shape of a rose blossom.

The Gérard Bertrand Sauvignon Blanc grapes are harvested with precision so as not to lose any of the wonderful aromas that characterise it. Its unmistakable bouquet of citrus fruit, minerality and French oak gives it its unique character. It is matured both in stainless steel tanks and in large wooden barrels. This wine has a storage potential of around 10 years and is sealed with a glass cork to preserve its quality and freshness.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Gérard Bertrand Côte des Roses Sauvignon Blanc has a light straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. The nose reveals intense notes of gooseberry, citrus fruit, fresh grass, passion fruit and green apple. On the palate, the wine is crisp, fresh and lively, with an animating acidity structure, delicate minerality and a tangy, fruit-accentuated finish. A Sauvignon Blanc with Mediterranean flair and French sophistication.

This white wine is an excellent accompaniment to summer dishes such as goat's cheese salad, grilled fish, sushi, oysters, light vegetable dishes or risotto with asparagus and lemon zest. The Côte des Roses Sauvignon Blanc also impresses as a solo aperitif on the terrace, with brunch or light tapas thanks to its style and freshness. Serve at 8-10 °C in a white wine glass - for the perfect moment of pleasure.
