✨ Technical Specifications
Housed in an iconic, rustic ceramic bottle that pays homage to the ancient clay amphorae used by the Greeks and Romans who first planted vines in the Languedoc, Gerard Bertrand's Art de Vivre Rosé is a celebration of the Mediterranean lifestyle and history. This cuvée is crafted from classic southern French grape varieties—primarily Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah—grown in sun-drenched vineyards tempered by cooling sea breezes. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, gently pressed, and fermented at low temperatures to preserve their delicate, vibrant aromas of red berries and Mediterranean herbs. It represents a beautiful bridge between antiquity and modern winemaking, capturing the joyful, sun-soaked spirit of the South of France.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1992 by former French international rugby player Gérard Bertrand following the legacy of his father Georges at Domaine de Villemajou, the estate has emerged as an undisputed pioneer of fine wine in the Languedoc. Headquartered at the coastal Château l'Hospitalet within the limestone massif of La Clape, Bertrand orchestrates over 900 hectares of vineyard land across premium terroirs spanning Corbières, Minervois-La-Livinière, Terrasses du Larzac, and Limoux. The enterprise represents the world’s largest producer of Demeter-certified biodynamic wines, guided by regenerative viticulture, lunar cycles, and chemical-free soil stewardship. Cellar craftsmanship combines precise temperature control, indigenous ferments, and tailored French oak maturation to articulate South of France typicity. Benchmark releases range from iconic single-vineyard crus such as Clos d'Ora, Clos du Temple, and Cigalus to vibrant, terroir-driven white and red bottlings, alongside celebrated Mediterranean cuvées like Côte des Roses.
