Gérard Bertrand An 940 Merlot 2024 14% ABV 0.75 l online kaufen

The Gérard Bertrand An 940 Merlot 2024, 14% ABV, in a 0.75-litre bottle, is an elegant French red wine from the Languedoc region, combining the characteristic qualities of the Merlot grape variety with the rich winemaking heritage of southern France. The renowned Gérard Bertrand winery is synonymous with high-quality wines from the south of France and combines modern winemaking techniques with the region’s cultural heritage. The name ‘An 940’ pays homage to the earliest written records of the Langue d’oc, which were documented around the year 940 in works such as the literary piece ‘La Passion de Clermont’. From this linguistic tradition, Occitan developed, which gained cultural significance across Europe, particularly through the medieval troubadours.


For the Gérard Bertrand An 940 Merlot 2024, the grapes are carefully harvested by hand, destemmed and then fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. The traditional maceration, lasting 70 to 75 days, is accompanied by targeted pumping-over to control the extraction of polyphenols and the characteristic components of the grape skins. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine matures in tanks for several months before being bottled. This meticulous vinification process highlights the distinctive character of this Merlot from the south of France. With an alcohol content of 14% vol., the 2024 vintage is a versatile red wine that combines French winemaking tradition with precise, modern winemaking techniques.

Served at a temperature of 16 to 18 °C, it reveals its balanced structure and complex aromas to their best advantage.
