The Gérard Bertrand Héritage “An 560” Côtes du Roussillon Villages Tautavel AOP is an expressive red wine from the south of France. This blend of Grenache Noir, Syrah, and Carignan comes from the Tautavel appellation in Roussillon, where the vineyards are situated in an amphitheater-shaped landscape characterized by clay-limestone and slate soils. Its Mediterranean origins give this red wine its powerful character and spicy complexity.
The grapes are mostly harvested by hand and carefully selected both in the vineyard and in the cellar. After destemming, the wine undergoes a three- to four-week maceration period. Pressing is followed by malolactic fermentation. One-third of the wine is then aged for nine months in barriques, while the remainder is aged in tanks. This combination blends the wine’s fruit and freshness with additional structure and subtle oak notes.
In the glass, the Tautavel displays a deep, glossy red color. On the nose, a complex bouquet of dark fruits, licorice, truffles, and black olives unfolds. On the palate, it is powerful, full-bodied, and dense, yet fresh and elegant. Its solid structure and already silky tannins ensure a harmonious mouthfeel and a rich, expressive overall impression.
The Gérard Bertrand Héritage “An 560” Tautavel is an excellent pairing for grilled meats, pork with caramelized sauce, and rabbit with plums. This characterful red wine also pairs exceptionally well with roasted vegetables and aged cheeses. The producer recommends a serving temperature of 18°C.
