Gérard Bertrand An 990 Fitou Grenache/Carignan 2020

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 is a blend of Carignan (fermented separately using carbonic maceration) and Grenache. The combo is aged in oak for 12 months to create a plush, darkly fruity wine that’ll pair well with grilled burgers.
