Reviews and Ratings

Alana L rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Naturae Cabernet Sauvignon, IGP Pays d’Oc, 2019 / Organic, with no added sulfites and vegan, made according to traditional wine-making processes but with no added sulfites or other inputs, macerated 10 days with a daily pumping over and then racked again to eliminate the coarsest lees before the malolactic fermentation. Deep purple in colour, elegant and velvety, the nose and palate have super ripe fruit (blueberry, blackberry, cherry), toast, spice, pepper, tobacco and a bit of herbs and vanilla with a nice finish. Would be lovely with Middle Eastern dishes or grilled eggplant in a tomato sauce.

A leader in organic and biodynamic viticulture and named ‘Green Personality of the Year’ in 2020 at the Drinks Business Green Awards (the world's largest competition aimed at raising awareness of environmental issues in the beverage industry and rewarding exemplary sustainability and environmental performance), Gérard Bertrand discovered his passion for wine at his family’s estate, Villemajou, in 1975, started running it in 1987 and created the Gérard Bertrand wine company in 2002 to showcase and develop wines in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the South of France. The company now includes 16 châteaux, estates and wineries covering over 850 hectares cultivated using biodynamic methods in one or more of 6 levels of certification: conversion to organic agriculture; organic agriculture; no added sulphites; vegan; bee-friendly and Demeter-certified biodynamic. Guiding his philosophy is that these organic practices are not only an essential way to act for the planet and to ‘be the change’, but also that they allow the identity of the terroir and sense of place to shine through and for the wines to ‘taste of somewhere and not of something’!

Tasted as part of Gérard Bertrand’s virtual Organic French Wine festival.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
