2018 | Gerard Bertrand | Clos de Temple

The 2018 Gerard Bertrand Clos de Temple Rose pours a very pale rosé. Aromas of ripe fruit (apricot, white peach), flowers (rose) and spice (green pepper). The palate is silky and seductive, a juicy ripe apricot, white peach, rose and spice with a mild tobacco finish. A food-friendly rosé.

Reviews:

• Decanter: This wine is pale pink, showing intense creamy fruit alongside a silky texture. It reveals a fine oak and battonage structure, backed by the long fine acidity typical of the schist and limestone hills of the region of Cabrieres, It’s powerful enough to match rich gastronomic flavours but this is a rosé to also lay down in the cellar and watch it develop complex flavours with age..

• Wine Enthusiast: This is a lovely, complex, layered and inviting rosé. It opens with a light woody top note that suggests cedar-grilled apple, clove-spiked orange, tangerine peel and peach pit. The palate is silky and seductive, with an initial weight and lushness that's balanced by bright orange-flavored acidity and a lovely texture of delicate tannins and citrus pith through the close. Hints of white florals, like clover and Spanish broom, and garrigue also unfold on the finish.
