A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Gerard Bertrand is apparently a famous French rugby player that took up winemaking in the Languedoc. This wine iis made from GrenacheGris, the gris version of Grenache. The Donkey&Goat Rose, made from GibsonRanch old-vine GrenacheGris, with much longer skin-contact obviously, blows this vapid wine away.
