From superstar Languedoc winemaker, Gérard Bertrand, this Rivesaltes is a superbly complex, developed tawny wine from the south of France. Superb alternative to tawny port and an ideal match for Stilton cheese. No stranger to awards, Gérard was named Master Winemaker of the Year in The Drinks Business Magazine’s The Master Winemaker 100 (2023). He was acknowledged for his commitment to biodynamics and for the exceptional quality of his wines, which consistently scored high marks in the magazine’s tastings.Tasting Note
On the palate it is sweet, rich and incredibly smooth with a wash of those same nutty, raisiny characters.Pronounced aromas of hazelnut, figs and dates lift from the glass.Product Reviews
In The Press
Irish Examiner
If serving a drink with the speeches and toasts is a tradition you want to continue then this would be a lovely option instead of sherry. A small glass would be sufficient. A vin doux natural (fortified with brandy) with aromas of hazelnuts, dried fruits and cooked apricots- sweet lime and praline flavours with fascinating complexity and elegance and a long dry finish of sulatanas and citrus.
