It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. This is a true quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities and thus, despite all its dryness, this Frenchman delights with the finest balance. Flavor simply does not necessarily require sugar. On the finish, this youthful wine from the Languedoc wine-growing region finally delights with a beautiful length. Hints of pineapple and blackcurrant appear once again. Vinification of the Gerard Bertrand Change Merlot This well-balanced red wine from France is organically produced from the Merlot grape variety.
