Gerard Bertrand Cremant de Limoux Brut, Languedoc-Roussillon, France 2022

Description

The 2022 Gérard Bertrand Crémant de Limoux Brut is a delightful expression of traditional method sparkling wine from one of the oldest sparkling wine regions in the world. Hailing from the sun-drenched hills of Languedoc-Roussillon, this Crémant delivers remarkable finesse and balance at an outstanding value.

In the glass, it pours a pale gold with a persistent, fine mousse that immediately signals its quality. The nose is fresh and inviting, with aromas of green apple, white peach, and citrus zest, layered with delicate floral notes and a subtle hint of brioche from its time on the lees.

On the palate, it’s crisp and vibrant, yet well-rounded. Bright acidity lifts the orchard fruit flavors, while a creamy texture and mineral backbone bring elegance and structure. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a touch of toasty complexity that lingers just long enough to keep you coming back for another sip.

Perfect as an aperitif, but also versatile enough to pair with seafood, goat cheese, or light poultry dishes, this Crémant is a shining example of Gérard Bertrand's dedication to sustainable winemaking and quality.
