Gérard Bertrand 2015 Saint Chinian
Saint Chinian, Languedoc, South of France
$17.95 (370247)
There’s a sunbaked and weathered character to this rich and ripe red from the village of Saint Chinian in the Languedoc. A blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre yields an impressive and nicely balanced wine, with a core of dark fruit and black olive, accented by herbal and savoury notes that add complexity to the aroma and flavours. Full-bodied with an appealing smooth texture, there’s structure and grip here that suggests this will age gracefully. Drink now to 2022.
