Grape

Syrah or Shiraz, Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre

Origin
From the stable of renowned winemaking former rugby player Gerard Bertrand, this is a classically-styled Languedoc red, hailing from the clay and limestone terraces around Narbonne. Hand-picked, destemmed and fermented at controlled temperatures for great fruit purity.
Taste
A well-structured middleweight red, offering a supple blend of cassis and mulberry fruit, nuanced on the nose by notes of wild thyme and leathery spice, and softened by a hint of French oak.
Enjoy
Allow to breathe and serve at room temperature with slow-cooked beef or lamb dishes.

    Dull flavour, and a short finish. None of the rich spicy fruit one finds from well made wines from this much improved region. Disappointing - would not buy again

    Give me a break!

    It started off life 2yrs ago as the best bargain red for the money at majestic... now i think theyre rinsing out the previous years grapes to make it last... its unrecognisable now... reedy.. resin-y tastes like someting from that great wine lake theyre always trying to get rid of in Languedoc R.

    What a wine what a bargain

    Read the reviews previous to buying, so on my short list, really smooth, dark red/purple colour and soft. Great with pasta & any beef dish also great price when 2 are bought.

    Excellent Wine for a great price

    A soft easy drinking red. Great with food, and just as good whilst sat on the sofa watching TV.

    A bargain - simply delicious!

    Everyone complimented this wine, which had just the right amount of weight without being heavy. Tasted delicious and was ideal for a weekend in front of the fire eating delicious wintry dishes.
