Gérard Bertrand Minervois-la-Liviniere 'Clos D'Ora' 2014

In 1997, Gérard Bertrand had a dream, which came true in 2012 with the first vintage from the Clos d'Ora vines, after 15 years of reflection and preparation. This exceptional place is located precisely on a geological fault between limestone and marl soils, a unique contact zone. This trans-generational wine symbolizes a link between the mineral, vegetal, animal and human kingdoms. It is a sanctuary dedicated to peace, love and harmony.

Grape Varietals: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan

Wine Region: Languedoc, France

Tasting Note: Clos d'Ora is distinguished by its brilliant deep ruby colour. Its character, powerful and elegant, is revealed on the palate by intense aromas of black fruits and subtle, melted tannins. Thanks to its sophisticated vinification and maturation, Clos d'Ora benefits from a remarkable amplitude and length in the mouth. Clos d'Ora is an exceptional wine with great ageing potential.

Food Pairing: Beef from Aubrac grilled, matured or slowly cooked.
