Château La Soujeole Malepère AOP - Gérard Bertrand

The Château La Soujeole Malepère of Gérard Bertrand from the Languedoc offers a bright purple color in the wine glass. The bouquet of this red wine from the Languedoc enchants with nuances of plum, blueberry, black cherry and black currant. If we trace the aromatics further, gingerbread spice, oriental spices and cinnamon are added.

The Gérard Bertrand Château La Soujeole Malepère presents itself to the wine lover pleasantly dry. This red wine never shows itself coarse or meager, but round and smooth. Balanced and complex, this dense red wine presents itself on the palate. In the finish, this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of the Languedoc finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of plum and mulberry. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by sandstone and granite are added.

Vinification of the Château La Soujeole Malepère by Gérard Bertrand

This balanced red wine from France is vinified from Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot grapes. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Languedoc. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of limestone, granite, sandstone, clay and marl. The grapes for this red wine from France, after ensuring optimal ripeness, are harvested exclusively by hand. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly transferred to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small wood at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
