Gerard Bertrand Reserve Speciale wines continue to earn extraordinary accolades world wide. If you haven't been convinced previously from the past great scores and press for the Reserve Speciale wines (or found out yourself from pulling the corks on a few botles) then here is just a little more proof that these are some of the greatest wine values from anywhere in the world. At the recently concluded Concours Mondiale, which was held this year in Bordeaux, there were over 6000 total wines presented.

O'Brien's [Ireland] Notes on Reserve Speciale Viognier

O'Brien's is Irelands largest family owned drinks retailer, with 27 stores nationwide. We thank them for their support of our delightful Reserve Speciale Viognier, soon to be available in select markets across the USA. From their online catalog, they say "Easily the best Southern French Languedoc we have ever tasted, the Speciale Reserve actually reminded us of the great, expensive wines of Condrieu. Aromatic peach and apricot aromas fill the glass with that same peachy fruit on the palate, rounded off with wild honey. World Class Viognier".

Wine Spectator Best Value Wineries From France 2007

You probably knew that we make some of the most critically acclaimed, sought after, limited production,wines in the south of France. You may not have been aware of the incredible quality of our full range of wines. Witness the 2007 wrap-up of the Spectator's highest rated under $30 wines from France, where you may be surprised by just how many incredible value wines we produce. Our great value wines start with our Reserve Speciale varietal wines (Chardonnay, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir) and continue with our AOC offerings from Corbieres and Minervois, our Pic Saint Loup & Tautavel wines under our Grand Terroirs label, and extend into our outstanding estate wines.

Gerard Bertrand wine feature in Beijing, China.

Just thought you would like to see that we are the featured wine at the Vineyard Cafe in Beijing, China through our excellent representatives in China, East Meets West Fine Wines, an importer/distributor with offices in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen

I also loved the directions posted by the Vineyard Cafe on their website:

"Directions to Vineyard Cafe by Car, Bike or Foot: Head to Yong He Gong Qiao (the second ring road bridge next to the Lama Temple) and go south. After 30 metres, at the first hutong (street) you reach, turn right. The street entrance currently has barriers with pictures of parks on either side of it - see photo on right. Vineyard Cafe is approximately 150 metres down the street on your right hand side. Unfortunately, the street is one way going east between 7am and 10pm so you will need to jump out the taxi at the end and walk down."

GÉRARD BERTRAND Coteaux du Languedoc La Clape Château l'Hospitalet La Reserve 2005 (90 points, $22)
A robust red, with good definition to the berry, cherry and plum flavors. There's also plenty of spicy notes, with mineral and chocolate on the finish. Well-balanced and nicely structured. Drink now through 2010. 6,000 cases made.
