✨ Technical Specifications
Gerard Bertrand's Cote des Roses series celebrates the Mediterranean art de vivre and the diverse terroir of the Languedoc. Sourced from select vineyards across the Pays d'Oc IGP, this Sauvignon Blanc benefits from a warm Mediterranean climate tempered by cooling sea breezes, allowing the grapes to retain their signature vibrant acidity. Vinified entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve its fresh, aromatic profile, the wine bursts with notes of citrus, passionfruit, and flinty minerality. A defining feature of this cuvee is its iconic bottle, featuring a base beautifully sculpted in the shape of a rose, created by a designer from the Ecole Boulle, symbolizing a lasting bouquet of flowers in every pour.
🍾 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.
