Gerard Bertrand Le Chouchou 2023 11% Vol. 0,75l

In 1975, Gerard Bertrand began his grape harvest at Chateau de Villemajou in the Corbieres, where he discovered his passion for wine. Over the course of twelve years, he honed his skills alongside his father Georges Bertrand until the fourth generation finally carried on the legacy. After the tragic death of his father in 1987, Gerard Bertrand took over the family management of the Domaine de Villemajou and founded the Gerard Bertrand wine company. The Gerard Bertrand Group comprises 16 wine estates and 16 chateaux along the Mediterranean coast of France, covering a total of 850 hectares. Some of the grapes are harvested by hand and matured in 225-liter Bordeaux barrels, while the rest is stored in stainless steel tanks.

Gerard Bertrand Le Chouchou is a contemporary wine that impresses with its delicate, light and fresh style and offers an attractive alternative to red wine. With its low alcohol content and the temperature at which it is served, which emphasizes the freshness of its aromas, it is ideal for special moments with friends.

The grapes for Le Chouchou come from the high-altitude terroirs of the Cevennes, where they are grown organically and harvested early in the morning to ensure optimal conditions. The main grape variety, Grenache, is macerated in vats for one day to extract color and fruity aromas without tannins. The cuvee is made from Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, followed by malolactic fermentation. After maturing in barrels for three months, the wine is bottled and sealed with a screw cap.
