title: Gérard Bertrand 2008 L'Hospitalitas - La Clape Red (Coteaux du Languedoc)
description: It's sad that only 5,080 bottles of this wine were produced, as it's truly a stunner. Dark and developed, complex and concentrated, this wine exhibits such superb balance and finesse, with nuanced notes of minerality, scrubland, whole tobacco leaf, black pepper and licorice root all gracing the dark fruit core of the nose and mouth. It's lush and full on the palate, and medium tannins provide a solid structure, making the wine drinkable now or ready to age.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: L'Hospitalitas - La Clape
