The Best Rosé of the World, 2024

Rated “The Best Rosé of the World, 2024” by Drinks Business,  Gérard Bertrand’s Rosé Clos du Temple is an exemplar of excellence in the world of rosé wines – and this is indeed a very special rosé. 

 

Appreciation for this wine begins with the intricate bottle which was designed by the Gérard Bertrand team. The square base symbolizes the earth, the cylindrical body symbolizes the connection between earthly and celestial forces.  The bottle's shoulders boasts a flawless dome, delicately embellished with gold accents which represent the graceful curves of the hills enveloping Clos du Temple. Inspired by King Louis XIV, a fervent admirer of Cabrières wines, the royal blue hue pays homage to his regal legacy. 

What sets this wine apart is the exceptional terroir at the Clos du Temple estate in the historic Cabrières region in Languedoc. Here, the Mediterranean climate and limestone-rich soil impart a unique character to the grapes, resulting in a wine of unparalleled complexity and finesse. The blend of the finest juices of Cinsault, Grenache, Mourvedre, Viognier and Syrah grape vines collectively contribute to the exquisite taste of this acclaimed Rosé. 

Upon pouring, the Clos du Temple reveals a delicate salmon-pink hue, enticing the senses with aromas of fresh berries, rose petals, and subtle spices. The palate offers a harmonious blend of vibrant fruit flavours, crisp acidity, and a lingering, elegant finish. 

This rosé is not merely a wine; it's an experience—a journey through the sun-kissed vineyards of southern France, captured in every sip. It's no wonder that connoisseurs around the world regard it as one of the finest rosés ever produced.
