Gerard Bertrand with Mark Fine/Bommarito

A negotiant buyer of wine from the south of france.

Cremant de Limoux 2007 a blend of chard, chenin and Mauzac an indigenous grape from Limoux region. light soft mousse and pleasant sparkler...made in the methode champenoise style but a slightly dull finish

Pinot Noir 2007 soft nose, light red berry flavors.. interesting high notes but a little rustic on the finish.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 light, soft and uneventful

Corbieres 2006 a blend of Syrah and Mourvedre... earthy dark fruit nose, nice fruit on the palate with a quick finish of bing cherry

Minervois 2006 oldest appellation in the world with wine dating back to the 5th century. carignan instead of mourvedre... softer prettier and more approachable than the Corbieres.

Pic St Loup 2005 soft sweet fruit on the nose and a little dull on the palate.. maybe aging fast.. some dust and red fruit on the finish.
