Description
G�rard Bertrand has virtually spearheaded the drive for terroir-based expressions from the South of France. Seeking to reveal the finest that the varied, distinct regions and subregions have to offer, his efforts have redefined and revitalized the reputation of the entire South of France and have catapulted places like Fitou to the fore of viticultural attention. The wines of Fitou are typically excellent value, generous and robust with spice and clove tones mixed in with the fruit. They can age well and often need 3+ years after vintage to show their very best.

Tasting Notes
The year 990 on this wine's label refers to the feudal citadel of Fitou, which marked the border between the kingdoms of France and Aragon. The wine itself blends Carignan (fermented separately using carbonic maceration) with Grenache and ages the combo in oak for 12 months to create a plush, darkly fruity wine that'll pair well with grilled burgers.
