Gerard Bertrand Aigle Noir Pinot Noir 2007

I was on twitter recently and I saw that Ken Forester has updated his website., I’m a huge fan of his wines, especially his FMC which I have a few bottles of in my so called “wine cellar” in South Africa.

I know you can get it here in the UK from Waitrose, so if you are interested have a look at Waitrose wine on line.

The wine I am going to talk about was recommend by Thierry who’s company brings in the FMC to the UK. I have spoken more about white wines in the past so this time I wanted to do a red.

The red that I have been drinking is a really lovely Gerard Bertrand Aigle Noir Pinot Noir 2007.

This wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown in the warm sun of Southern France, located just above Limoux. This Pinot Noir is rich in red fruit flavours such as strawberry and raspberry. Its smooth complexity is heightened by hints of spice and oak.

Drink this with minted lamb or even roasted game, but what I like about it is I bought it from Marks & Spencer’s for only £7.99, which is a great price for a great Pinot Noir.

Enjoy
