Gérard Bertrand Gris Blanc Rosé - 750ml

An original rose with a very pale pink color, subtly shaded by grey and whitish tints, it presents an inviting pale robe that hints at its delicate character. On the nose, the bouquet reveals delightful red berry scents that mingle with hints of floral sweetness and a touch of underlying mineral lift. When sipped, a faint sparkle on the palate gives the wine a lively freshness, lifting its fruit to the fore and extending a bright, mouth-watering finish. The overall impression is elegant and balanced, with a mineral precision that reinforces its clean, crisp profile and keeps the sweetness of the fruit from becoming overpowering. The wine carries its lightness with grace, offering a racy, youthful charm that makes it immediately appealing.

Grenache, renowned as the king of grape varieties for crafting light, vivacious, fruity rosés in a contemporary style, is at the heart of this wine. It releases all its suppleness and cherry aromas, delivering a bouquet that feels both fresh and inviting. In the glass, you can perceive delicate notes of ripe cherries complemented by a hint of redcurrant and a whisper of peach skin, all supported by a soft, satin-like texture. The palate offers rounded sensations, a gentle fruit drive, and a pleasant, almost creamy mouthfeel that remains balanced by crisp acidity and a mineral backbone. Subtle hints of fig, and occasionally cocoa, emerge on the mid-palate, adding depth without diminishing the wine’s primary bright fruit character. This combination of freshness, fruitfulness, and restrained complexity makes it one of the great examples from the South of France, ideal for pairing with light salads, grilled seafood, or tapas, and perfect for enjoying on a warm afternoon or as an aperitif.
