Further description:

  • Cuvée in homage to Gérard Bertrand's father who adored this plot of old Carignan, some of which are over 100 years old.
  • The name Forge comes from the land registry, on the plot there are all the elements necessary for forging: wood for the fire and water to cool the metal.
  • With great breadth, the palate reveals powerful and elegant aromas, which evoke "jammed" red fruits. It is a very great wine with high aging potential (20 years)

Only 12 bottles sourced from a restaurant changing hands. (Feb ‘25) This is a £55+ bottle all day (£83 from the winery) so grab a Bin End bargain.
