Illustration by Samuel Martinez @samartnz_
In this period of confinement, what is more important than family? Christmas is surely the most important occasion of the year to gather around our loved ones.
A time of sharing and kindness par excellence, Christmas allows us to refocus, for a few days, with those who are dear to us.
Wine, this unique beverage that has been a symbol of sharing and connection between humans for thousands of years, is probably the drink that best embodies the Christmas celebration.
You will find on our online store, all kinds of exceptional wines, reds, whites, rosés, sparkling wines, natural sweet wines, prestigious wines and old vintages to make these Christmas celebrations unforgettable.
Gift idea: Les Parcelles Discovery Box
Some estates and chateaux have within their own territory, areas of vines benefiting from an extraordinary location, due to their geographical position and the composition of their soil. These are called single-plot wines.
With the Les Parcelles Discovery box, you will enjoy three emblematic wines from the Gérard Bertrand estates:
L'Hospitalitas - AOP La Clape
Located in the heart of the Clape massif, the Hospitalitas plot overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. Sheltered from the wind thanks to the protection of a cliff delimiting two terroirs of white limestone soils and red marl soils, surrounded by a field of mulberry trees and an olive grove, it receives the iodized air of the sea located only a few hundred meters away.
These unique characteristics give this wine a unique, powerful and generous flavor, in a unique saline minerality.
The Viala - AOP Minervois la Livinière
Situated at an altitude of 250 metres, on the exceptional terroir of La Livinière, a historic centre of wine production in Languedoc during antiquity, this plot is made up of deep-rooted vines from the perfect blend of three grape varieties: Grenache, Carignan and Syrah.
Combining the power of Grenache, the freshness of Carignan and the roundness of Syrah, Viala is a voluptuous wine offering a bouquet of unique flavors and scents, for great aging potential.
The Forge - AOP Corbières Boutenac
La Forge is a tribute wine from the favorite plot of Gérard Bertrand's father, Georges. Home to century-old Carignan and old Syrah vines, this plot offers a true alchemy between grape and terroir.
An opulent and generous concentrated wine, it is endowed with the richness and complexity of grapes from century-old vines, its balance between fruit and spices is total.
