Gérard Bertrand was once a famous rugby player. Hes now one of Southern Frances most acclaimed winemakers. His wines regularly scoop top marks from the critics, and the Côte des Roses is a real classic. From warm and windy vineyards on the French coast, the ripe fruit flavours are balanced by a delicious freshness from the sea breezes. It comes in a beautifully sculpted bottle, designed to look like a rose, making it a great gift or celebration centrepiece. Expect bright flavours of summer fruits, cassis, redcurrant, roses and grapefruit. Itll be fantastic with baked white fish and fresh seasonal salads. In 2022, this wine won an IWC award for the 2021 vintage.
