Gérard Bertrand was once a famous rugby player. He’s now one of Southern France’s most acclaimed winemakers. His wines regularly scoop top marks from the critics, and the Côte des Roses is a real classic. From warm and windy vineyards on the French coast, the ripe fruit flavours are balanced by a delicious freshness from the sea breezes. It comes in a beautifully sculpted bottle, designed to look like a rose, making it a great gift or celebration centrepiece. Expect bright flavours of summer fruits, cassis, redcurrant, roses and grapefruit. It’ll be fantastic with baked white fish and fresh seasonal salads.
