The Exceptional Plots of Land by Gérard Bertrand

Gérard Bertrand, an iconic figure in Languedoc-Roussillon wine, offers a collection of exceptional wines from special plots carefully selected for their unique terroir and exceptional potential. Among these gems, Le Viala, Plantabelle and La Forge stand out for their distinctive character and their ability to express all the richness and authenticity of the great wines of the South of France.

Le Viala: Nestled in the heart of the prestigious La Livinière appellation, Le Viala draws its quintessence from a special plot of Château Laville Bertrou. This cuvée, made from Syrah, Grenache and Carignan grape varieties, embodies the excellence of the La Livinière terroirs. The meticulous hand-harvesting and careful aging reveal all the complexity and depth of this wine, which is distinguished by its captivating aromas and its power on the palate. An exceptional wine to be enjoyed with refined dishes.

Plantabelle: Located upstream of the Pitrous valley, the Plantabelle plot benefits from an exceptional terroir composed of schist soils. The old vines of Grenache noir and Syrah that thrive there fully express the richness of this unique terroir. The manual harvest and the aging in barrels give this cuvée a remarkable elegance and complexity, with aromas of ripe fruits and Garrigue. A wine that is both powerful and subtle, to be savored with pleasure.

La Forge: In homage to his father and family traditions, Gérard Bertrand presents this exceptional wine made from old Carignan vines, some of which are over 100 years old. This vintage, AOP Corbières Boutenac, offers a dark color and explosive aromas of finely toasted ripe fruit. With great breadth in the mouth, this wine reveals all its power and elegance, with exceptional aging potential. A wine to be tasted with respect and savored over time.

L'Hospitalitas: At the top of Château l'Hospitalet, this plot benefits from an exceptional microclimate offering the grapes a slow and progressive maturation. Part of the Syrah is vatted in whole bunches, while the other part, as well as the Mourvèdre, are destemmed before being vinified in traditional maceration. After aging in new barrels for around 12 months, this wine seduces with its suave attack, with melted tannins and a beautiful length on the finish. A wine promising great aging potential.

Together, these plots demonstrate Gérard Bertrand's commitment to the excellence and diversity of Languedoc-Roussillon wines, offering connoisseurs and amateurs unique and memorable taste experiences.
