Gérard Bertrand reveals the history of the great terroirs of the South of France.
1877 pays homage to modern times, the advent of the steam engine, and the first railway line in Saint-Chinian, which made it possible to transport wines outside the region.
In this 2022 vintage, Héritage "An 1877" Saint Chinian is a beautiful wine made from a blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre produced by Gérard Bertrand, once again demonstrating his remarkable mastery of the work: selection of the best plots, manual harvesting, double sorting in the vineyard and cellar, and barrel aging of one-third for 9 months.
Here is our tasting of the 2022 vintage.
Color: Deep ruby red with mahogany highlights.
The Nose: Classic and powerful, marked by very ripe black fruits (blackberry, black cherry, plum), notes of toasted spices, and roasted oak.
The Palate: Opulent and lush, with velvety tannins. These black fruit aromas resonate. The balance is perfect, offering a beautiful length on the finish.The Color: a deep ruby red with mahogany highlights.
The 12bouteilles Advice: A top-tier wine from Languedoc, ideally opened 1 hour before serving to allow its aromatic complexity to fully unfold. Serve at 18°C with roasted red meats, poultry in sauce, or aged cheeses. It has an aging potential of at least a decade.
