Gérard Bertrand : La Sauvageonne Grand Vin Rouge 2021
Languedoc - Terrasses du Larzac - Red Wine -In this 2021 vintage, La Sauvageonne Grand Vin Organic red wine pays tribute to the appellation, thanks to an exceptional terroir and Gérard Bertrand’s expertise. Here is our tasting note:
The Color: an intense garnet red
The Nose: spicy, with hints of garrigue and jammy fruit
The Palate: a direct attack, with silky, elegant tannins that showcase the finesse of Grenache. The balance is remarkable, suggesting a potential aging of at least ten years.
This 2021 vintage of La Sauvageonne Grand Vin comes from a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. Low-yield, hand harvesting guarantees perfectly ripe, healthy grapes, carefully sorted. Each variety undergoes separate maceration for 20 to 25 days before aging for 12 to 16 months in new 225-liter barrels. The “ruffes” (reddish volcanic soils) and schist of La Sauvageonne’s two terroirs ensure ideal water balance, allowing for steady, gradual vine development—key to achieving remarkable finesse in the glass.
Elegantly crafted, the La Sauvageonne Grand Vin cuvée reflects the unique climate of Terrasses du Larzac, where significant temperature variations favor the gradual ripening of the grapes, enhancing their color and aromatic complexity.
The 12bouteilles Advice: A sublime Languedoc wine from Gérard Bertrand. Enjoy it now, though it will gain complexity after a few years of cellaring. Open it one hour before serving and pair it with a fine grilled meat, a regional dish, or a typical Larzac cheese to reveal its full elegance!
