Gérard Bertrand Grand Terroir La Clape Syrah Carignan Mourvèdre 2016 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 91/100

A robust southern French red wine blend with vines planted closer to the Mediterranean sea and therefore there are more spice accents in the finished wine along with red fruits, lavender and pepper. The vines are planted at an altitude of 200 metres above sea level, which preserves their freshness with cool nights. The soils consist of limestone plateau that's thousands of years old. Although the Languedoc is the world's largest wine region with 235,000 acres, it is not one homogenous mass or style wine-wise. There are actually 5 sub-climates and more than 50 different grapes used in varying blends. Compare that to the 5 grapes used in Bordeaux. There are also 8 different and distinctive winds that blow through the vines here as compared to one in the Rhone, the Mistral. Pair with steak and hamburgers.

Syrah Carignan Mourvèdre food pairings: rustic stews, meat lover's pizza, hard cheeses.
