Château L'Hospitalet La Clape Grand Vin Blanc - Gerard Bertrand

In the glass, Château L'Hospitalet La Clape from Gerard Bertrand presents a dense light yellow color. If you swirl it in the wine glass to give it some air, this white wine reveals great density and richness, which shows in pronounced church windows on the rim of the glass. With a bit of time in the glass, this Old World white wine presents wonderfully expressive aromas of papaya, Galia melon, pineapple and guava, rounded off by whole-nut chocolate, vanilla and roasted hazelnut contributed by the barrel aging.

Gerard Bertrand Château L'Hospitalet La Clape delights with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. This is a genuine quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities, and thus this French wine, despite its dryness, fascinates with the finest balance. Excellent flavor does not necessarily require sugar. On the finish, this well-ageable white wine from the Languedoc winegrowing region finally thrills with a beautiful length. Notes of Galia melon and papaya appear once again.

Vinification of Gerard Bertrand Château L'Hospitalet La Clape

The powerful Château L'Hospitalet La Clape from France is a cuvée made from the grape varieties Bourboulenc, Roussanne, Vermentino and Viognier. Château L'Hospitalet La Clape is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this French wine exudes an exceptional European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World. The development of the grapes for this wine made from Bourboulenc, Roussanne, Vermentino and Viognier is influenced to a considerable extent by the climate of the growing region. In Languedoc, the grapes thrive in a warm climate, which is reflected, among other things, in particularly well-ripened grapes and a rather high must weight. After the grape harvest, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large wooden casks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, Château L'Hospitalet La Clape is aged for several more months in French oak barrels.
