2019 Gerard Bertrand Domaine de l'Estagnere IGP Pays d'Oc Cite de Carcassonne

A deep, vivid ruby red with a generous, fruit‑forward nose: black cherry, ripe plum, and a touch of blackberry compote, lifted by subtle Mediterranean herbs and a hint of sweet spice.

The palate is rich, smooth, and concentrated, showing plush dark fruit, gentle cocoa warmth, and rounded tannins typical of Bertrand’s southern French reds. There’s a pleasing freshness beneath the richness, keeping the wine lively rather than heavy.

The finish is long, ripe, and softly spiced, with lingering dark berry fruit and a clean, modern feel. Medium‑full, Supple, fruit‑driven, polished. Warm, dark‑fruited, lightly herbal
