Gerard Bertrand Chateau L'Hospitalet Grand Vin Rouge 2021

The color is a brilliant ruby. The intense nose is dominated by spicy and red fruit (strawberry) aromas. The mouth presents silky and fine tannins underlining the fruity freshness of this wine.

Grape Composition: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre

Decanter: 91
Ripe and rich and appealing fruit on the nose - blackberry, bramble, black cherry. A sweet and pretty profile, almost strawberry-like. It's juicy, succulent, the fruit is ripe and sweet and yummy. Yes there's some sweet vanilla oak but it's well done, integrated, and it adds complexity. Toasty and vanilla. Tannins are still a little tight. But it's a well-balanced wine. Should age well in the medium term due to it's fresh acidity. Dense, silky and sweet, classy.

This poised red blend alternates between black cherry and blackberry on the nose with smoky undertones of sage brush, rosehip and red currant peppered throughout. Concentrated red fruit takes center stage on the palate of this gorgeous wine that is dripping with finesse and is supported by savory notes of dried rosemary and garigue.

James Suckling: 92
Dark berries, licorice, dried thyme and baking spices on the nose. It’s full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Velvety texture at the center with loads of cherries and berries mingling throughout. Well-balanced with a flavorful finish. Syrah, grenache noir and mourvedre. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
