"It was in 1975, in the vineyards of Château de Villemajou , in the heart of the Corbières, that Gérard Bertrand carried out his first grape harvests and discovered his passion for wine.


He perfected his training for twelve years alongside his father Georges Bertrand.


Today we are the fourth generation of winegrowers, Paule has Georges, then Gerard Bertrand and finally Emma & Mathias.
Very attached to the values ​​of performance and excellence learned on the rugby fields, Gerard Bertrand continues its quest: to reveal the best terroirs of its region and promote them throughout the world. It was in this spirit that he took over the family torch at Domaine de Villemajou after the accidental death of his father in 1987. Five years later, he created the wine company Gerard Bertrand in order to develop a range of wines from the South of France. In the following years he will buy back the Cigalus Estate and the Laville Bertrou Castle".

This wine is perfect as an aperitif with southern tapas but will also go wonderfully well with grilled Mediterranean fish and shellfish.

The harvest of this ancestral and iconic grape variety from the South of France is carried out at the end of the night, when the temperatures are coolest; this is to prevent any oxidation and to preserve the quality of these aromatic precursors. The harvest generally takes place from the beginning to the end of September after a thorough plot selection which allows the qualitative potential of each vine block to be assessed. The grapes are quickly transported to the press. Only the highest quality first juices are selected. After clarification, fermentation takes place naturally and at a controlled temperature between 16°C and 18°C. The wine thus obtained is aged in vats for a few months with stirring of the fine lees in order to obtain a natural smoothness and a creamy side in the mouth. Once the aging is finished, we can proceed to the assembly and packaging stage.
