Cigalus enjoys a hot, sunny Mediterranean climate (described as “semi-arid with temperate spring variants”) ensuring early ripening of all the grape varieties. This arid climate (low rainfall) is offset by the very deep soils (sediments deposited by the Aussou, a stream at the edge of the estate) which stores the winter rains for longer but are less fertile due to the presence of a slightly chalky sandstone in the subsoil, dating back to the Campanian (secondary era, prior to the emergence of the Pyrenees).
The vineyard is managed according to the biodynamic system where the energy of the soil lies at the heart of the process. From planting, this vineyard was designed for the development of a top-of-the-range wine: choice of qualitative clones and high planting density greater than 5,000 vines per hectare; high wall bars to obtain a high leaf area favoring photosynthesis and maturation. Great care and attention are lavished on the vineyard in order to achieve a healthy harvest with moderate yields (25 hl/ha) and hence get the very best out of the grapes. The harvesting date is triggered grape variety by grape variety, and only when the grapes have reached optimum ripeness and after they have been rigorously tasted. The hand-picked grapes are pneumatically pressed as soon as they get to the winery. After light static settling, some of the juice undergoes alcoholic fermentation in new barrels (70%), while the rest is vinified in stainless steel vats (30%). Malolactic fermentation is then performed. Temperature control is used to conserve all the freshness and integrity of the aromas. Maturing in barrels lasts 7 to 8 months – until the spring equinox – with regular stirring. After a light fining operation the wine is bottled.
Golden yellow colour, brilliant and limpid. Intense and complex nose of ripe citrus fruits (grapefruit), white peach, honey, dried fruit with a toasted note. Full and silky, ripe, ample mouth with notes of vanilla, toast, butter and exotic fruits. Good length in the mouth.
Serve at 10 - 12°C with fried scallops, fish cooked in sauce, or as an aperitif.

We found our new favorite poolside sip! La Grande Bleue Méditerranée, an organic wine made with 5 artfully blended grapes, takes us back to this past summer's adventure in Languedoc, France. The crisp taste is perfect to enjoy on what has been an exceptionally hot summer in both Southern California and Southern France! Thank heavens for La Grande Bleue!!
I love that I'm getting something that's less harmful and still enjoyable!

Our family has a tradition of "Laundry Room wine". It is wine of a high caliber that we hide in the laundry room and only tell a select few about. Those who have a discerning appreciation for tasty wines! Blanc Gris quickly became a "laundry room wine' after my husband and I discovered it on our recent vacation to the Languedoc region of France. I brought it to share with my daughter and sister-in-law who greatly appreciated this addition to our Laundry Room Wine List
It’s light and crisp and the perfect warm weather drink.
Delicious, a crisp cremant that is not too sweet.
I drank all of these in less than one week! It’s so good I keep restocking!
Trouble xp White - non-filtered, cloudy, organic, vegan wine
Wonderful Chardonnay style white wine.
I love this sparkling wine! I first tasted it on a Carnival Cruise and I have been in love ever since. I do not drink any other alcoholic beverage. I ordered three bottles and will be ordering three more! Order yours today!!! You will not be disapointed!!
All is well for a summer of Cotes des roses!
Loved it.Fruity and light.
Friday happy hour with friends about to kick off

I ordered this at a restaurant last summer and finally ordered a few because I couldn't stop thinking about how much I enjoyed it. It Came packaged beautifully!
Great wine!
We loved, will definitely order again!
Intense dark cherry fruit, bright acidity, some tobacco, medium to full-bodied with firm tannins. It is a delicious, round, and pleasing wine.
Very nice.
The taste is out of this World. Love it
Lovely, smooth, no bad after effects.
Great experience, fast shipping and wonderful wine.
I loved it
This is my wife's favorite wine. Thank you so much. Great service.
The wine was smooth yet complex and very satisfying to keep in the mouth for a few swirls. Delightful to know that Gérard Bertrand’s growing methods are sustainable and mindful of taking care of the land.
I am beyond pleased with the wonderful product and amazing service. Shipping was so fast and packaging was strong and secure. So thankful that they shipped my order via UPS. I love the wine. I can’t find this wine in a small town I live close to. Will definitely buy from this company for sure. Highly recommend! Thank you
Arrived on time!
I had this wine at a restaurant and loved it, that's why I ordered it. Very smooth and palatable with all kinds of food. It came so fast
Excellent wive and value!

It was difficult to have it delivered. The wine is more tonic than expected.
I didn’t get what I ordered, I got a sparkling wine instead and I sent an email explaining that and I haven’t received an answer. I want the wine I ordered please.
It's nice and heavy, but defintely reads like new wine.

I can not find this wine locally, but the nearest Costco carries it around Christmas. I think it is the perfect summer wine. It is light and not very sweet; and the bottle is exquisite. I will order again before the summer is over, I am sure.
Full bodied. Perfect!

My wife's favorite wine, also a great hostess gift for friends homes.
My Sister-in-law’s favorite wine! Nice and crisp - not too sweet. Shipping was a bit slow but worth it. If sending as a gift be sure to allow enough shipping time.
My husband and I had this particular bottle of wine on a recent cruise we were on. It was one of the wines offered during a wine tasting we did. We loved the wine and wanted to try it again once we got home. We are looking forward to having it again. The one negative was in the packaging of the wine and shipment. I’m very surprised the wine arrived without the bottle breaking. I’ve never seen something breakable, and liquid packaged so badly. There was no bubble wrap. Only a few pieces of cardboard providing any cushion at all, and that’s a stretch to say it was cushioned. The box it was shipped in was pieced together. Overall I was extremely disappointed in how the wine was shipped. As much as we love the wine, and would potentially want to buy from you again, I would be very concerned that the next time the bottle wouldn’t arrive without breaking if the same lack of care was given to the next shipment.
Nice rose.
I am a dipping my toe back into red wines so take this under consideration. I first started trying a Bertrand upon discovering Moulin a Vent Petit Bois which I very much liked. This led me to try another Bertrand wine, which is the one I purchased. I love it. At first aroma, I smell pepper, first taste fresh picked cherries and plums with a hint of Sarawak pepper, then coriandre, and turmeric. The way I cook I could easily pair this with a lighter meat and spice forward dish. So happy to discover another delicious Bertrand wine.
This was not the greatest - we have a recurring order - the combination of the holidays and the weather made for a delay in delivery - including expecting two cases at the same time and o ly getting them one at a time
