Gérard Bertrand An 118 Coteaux de Narbonne Rouge, bright ruby with purple tones, red cherry, plum and strawberry over soft spice, smooth and medium bodied with gentle tannins and a warm, inviting finish.
Tasting Notes
Bright ruby with purple tones. Red cherry, plum, strawberry and soft spice on the nose. Smooth and medium bodied on the palate with juicy fruit, gentle tannins and a warm, inviting finish. An easygoing southern French red that asks nothing of you. The An 118 name refers to 118 BC, the year Narbonne was founded as the first Roman colony in Gaul and, with it, the beginning of viticulture in the Languedoc.
