Gérard Bertrand – Source of Joy Rosé Languedoc 2023

This rosé presents itself with an alluring elegance that hints at the delightful experience to come. Its beautiful pale pink hue, often described as “old rose” with shimmering silver reflections, is a visual treat.

On the nose, it offers a captivating bouquet of fresh strawberries and cherries, interwoven with subtle hints of licorice and wild red berries. Pear fruit and delicate floral notes, reminiscent of a summer meadow, add further complexity and depth.

The palate confirms the promise of the nose, delivering a beautifully rounded and complex experience. Ripe white apple and honeydew melon flavors mingle harmoniously with the red fruit notes, creating a multi-layered tapestry of taste. A delicate acidity provides structure and freshness, while a touch of sweetness lingers on the finish, adding to the wine’s overall charm and drinkability.

To fully appreciate its vibrant character, this rosé is best served chilled to around 10°C. Its versatility makes it an excellent companion to a wide range of dishes, from grilled meats and fish to fresh Mediterranean salads.

The quality of this wine is deeply rooted in its origins. The grapes are sourced from organically cultivated vineyards situated on a unique terroir where slate and limestone converge. This combination, enriched by underground water veins, provides the vines with optimal nourishment, resulting in fruit of exceptional quality and concentration.

Falstaff, the renowned wine magazine, awarded this rosé high praise, describing it as follows: “Very light old rose, silver reflections. Delicate red wild berries, a hint of cherries, fine pear fruit and meadow herbs are underlying. Medium body, ripe white apple fruit, some honeydew melon, delicate acid structure, fine sweetness in the aftertaste, versatile.”
