Gerard Bertrand, Fitou. France

Wine: Fitou
Producer: Gerard Bertrand
Region: Fitou
Country: France
Colour: Red
Year: 2011
Grape: A
Supplier: Winewarehouse                                                                    
Restaurant: A
Price (VND): 470.000 VND
Points: 73/100
Pairs well with: pork dishes, beef or game
Notes:
This wine benefits from being decanted at least one hour before drinking.

Vibrant red in colour, the nose of this wine brings lots of red fruits, mostly ripe strawberries with leather and vanilla hints.

On the palate feels full bodied, with perhaps a bit too high acidity, especially if not decanted, with too much alcohol being felt.


Strongly recommended to have this wine with food: pork dishes, beef or game
