Winemaker's note
Between sea, mountain, sun and wind, the wines of Banyuls are above all wines for pleasure. The vines, exposed to the generosity of the climate, produce wines of expression and quintessence, rich, powerful, elegant and racy, carrying within them the warmth of the sun and the rusticity of the schist soil. The terroir and wines of Banyuls are expressed through a king grape variety: Grenache.
Winegrower's note
Harvesting is manual and is carried out after a ripeness control for each plot (tasting of the berries). After a start of traditional winemaking, the fermentation is blocked before pressing by a mutage "sur grains“ (addition of sugar). This technique, combined with a long maceration (14 to 20 days), allow an optimal extraction of aromatic and tannic substances. Muting on grapes can only be carried out on highquality harvests. Part of the wine is aged in barrels while the other part is aged in vats in order to preserve the fruity aromas.
Tasting notes
The colour is ruby red with purple reflections. This Banyuls reveals aromas of ripe red and black fruits on the nose. On the palate, this cuvée is full and wellbalanced, with aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry jam, supported by delicate woody notes.
Food and Wine Pairing
To be enjoyed at 16°C, with fruit desserts or Catalan pastries, but also 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!!
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
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!!
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!
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
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.
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.
