2019 Gerard Bertrand Hauterive En Pays D’Aude Cigalus
2019 Gerard Bertrand Hauterive En Pays D’Aude Cigalus Intense ruby colour with a mahogany hue. First the bouquet shouts concentrated very ripe black fruit. After a little time in the glass more complexity with grilled spice and toasted oak unfolds. The palate is lush and opulent with velvety tannins. The aromas of black fruit – blackberries black cherries and plums – reappear with a complex empyreumatic web leading into mint. The finish is long with a perfect balance.

The palate is very smooth, satin-like tannin accompanied by a fresh line of acidity. Harmonious, almost sultry in style and yet there is plenty of freshness on the caressing finish.
The colour is dense and deep; notes of small black fruit on the nose. The attack on the palate is smooth, sensual, voluptuous, the structure is precise and refined, the particularly successful Cabernets Francs bringing elegance and a spicy freshness.
