With this bottle you get 2 roses in one. Flip the bottle upside down to reveal a stunning sculpted glass rose on the bottom. The Gerard Bertrand Cote des Roses comes from the Languedoc-Roussillon region in southern France.  Spanning the Mediterranean coastline, it is wedged between Spain and Provence. It has a winemaking tradition dating back 2,000 years and is the largest wine region in the world.

The Gerard Bertrand Cote des Roses is a dry, elegant rosé.  It is a blend of 3 red grapes - Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah. All of these grapes grow well in the hot Mediterranean sun. Rosés make up 14% of the total production in this region. This Rose is loaded with fresh flavours of watermelon, red currants, strawberries and citrus zest. It's an easy going partner with food. It will pair with everything from Quiche Lorraine & Eggs Benedict to shrimp cocktail & roasted chicken.
