Gerard Bertrand’s Côte des Roses is a lushly presented flower of a wine, right down to the rose etched in the base of the bottle. Don’t be fooled though – this is a well made, balanced blend of three classic southern grapes grown in the Languedoc. There’s a hint of the herbal on the palate and a faint finish of musk rose. Enjoy as an aperitif.
