The Gérard Bertrand Corbières An806 AOP 2022 is an expressive, Mediterranean red wine from the Languedoc region that embodies the quintessence of southern French wine tradition in a modern form. The cuvée of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre comes from carefully tended vineyards around the Corbières appellation, where barren limestone and slate soils, plenty of sunshine and the influence of the Mediterranean give the grapes remarkable ripeness and depth. All grapes are harvested by hand to ensure the highest quality.


Vinification is carried out with great precision: while the Syrah undergoes carbonic maceration for 10 to 18 days, Grenache and Mourvèdre undergo traditional maceration with complete destemming. After malolactic fermentation, the individual grape varieties are blended into a harmonious cuvée. The wine then matures for around 8 months in 225-litre Bordelaise oak barrels before being lightly fined and bottled. It then spends several months in the bottle to further refine its structure, depth and elegance.

Tasting Note

The Gérard Bertrand Corbières An806 AOP 2022 shows a deep, dense ruby red colour with violet reflections in the glass. Intense aromas of mocha, coffee and dark chocolate unfold on the nose, accompanied by ripe black fruits, blackberries and a hint of spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, harmonious and balanced, with an impressive roundness on the attack. The texture is full-bodied and grainy, with ripe tannins and fine fruit sweetness. The finish is sweetish, soft and almost endless, carried by fruit richness and Mediterranean spice.

The Gérard Bertrand Corbières An806 AOP 2022 is an ideal accompaniment to grilled red meat, tajines, hearty braised dishes or mature cheese. It also unfolds its full expressive power with herb-crusted lamb chops or braised beef with Mediterranean spices. At a drinking temperature of 18 °C, it shows its balance and complexity to perfection. It can be drunk until 2030, gaining depth, harmony and supple elegance as it matures in the bottle. A powerful, finely structured red wine that reflects the sunshine of southern France in every facet.
