2018 Secret de Berticot Red Blend

The secret’s out when it comes to finding a covetable French red: 2018 Secret de Berticot Rouge. This delicious red blend was crafted in vineyards in the South West of France. Purple color reigns in this medium-bodied wine, with savory aromas revealing black fruit notes. A rounded mouthfeel with fine tannins and ripe fruitiness carries through to a long, savory finish. This blend is composed primarily of Merlot (67%), which lends a supple quality to the texture, while Cabernet Franc (23%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%) add complexity and structure. It is typical in style to the red blends you’ll find from Côtes de Duras. This appellation has a maritime climate similar to that of Bordeaux, though it experiences more seasonal variations. Created by Producta Vignobles, this blend represents traditional French winemaking and the expertise of 118 winegrowers across 1,000 hectares of land. Founded in 1949, Producta Vignobles is a collective of experienced winegrowers and winemakers. One of the top wine producers in France, Producta Vignobles crafts acclaimed wines that showcase the unique terroirs found in Bordeaux and South West France. The perfect food pairing for 2018 Secret de Berticot Rouge is a charcuterie spread of various cheeses and cold meats.
