Description of the wine
- 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)

Vinification and aging
La Forge was Georges Bertrand's favorite plot, home to century-old Carignan and old Syrah vines. From his first harvests, while biting into the grapes, walking through the rows with his father, Gérard Bertrand had felt the quality of skin and tannins that the age of the vines gives to the grapes that come from them. Alongside his father, he learned the quest for excellence in attention to a thousand and one details. "If you want to plow a straight furrow, hook your plow to a star" (Guy de la Rigaudie). This is Gérard Bertrand's quest to continue the work started by his father. "La Forge is the true alchemy of grapes and terroir and everything I know today. It is unlike any other and reveals the personality of Georges Bertrand."
