Time to Taste an Amazing French Red Blend from Corbières, Land of the Knights!


This time we taste a 2019 Gerard Bertrand blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre from Corbières,  in the South of France.  GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre) wines  are known for their fruity aromas and taste, as well as dried sage, pepper and herbs. Does this wine fit the profile?


The wine is name An 806 for the first known year of the Castle of Peyrepertuse which was a hermitage of the Cathar Knights.
