✨ Tekniske specifikationer
G rard Bertrand, a visionary winemaker and former rugby champion, has dedicated his life to showcasing the diverse terroirs of the Languedoc. The 'Grand Terroir' series serves as a liquid map of this ancient winemaking region, where vines have thrived since Roman times. This red blend typically unites classic Mediterranean grape varieties—Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan—harvested from rugged, sun-drenched hillsides characterized by limestone, clay, and schist soils. The winemaking combines traditional fermentation with partial carbonic maceration to preserve bright fruit aromatics, followed by aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine captures the essence of the wild Mediterranean landscape, whispering of the wind-swept garrigue, wild thyme, and rosemary that grow alongside the vineyards.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Vinhuset Gérard Bertrand blev grundlagt i 1992 af den tidligere professionelle rugbyspiller af samme navn. Med udgangspunkt i familiens rødder på Domaine de Villemajou har huset udviklet sig til et globalt pejlemærke for den sydfranske region Languedoc-Roussillon. Hovedsædet ligger på Château l'Hospitalet i kystappellationen La Clape, hvorfra Gérard Bertrand går forrest med biodynamisk vinavl på tværs af hundredvis af hektar førsteklasses vinmarker. Gennem et kompromisløst fokus på biodiversitet, bæredygtighed og terroirets renhed skaber huset en alsidig portefølje af både stille vine, mousserende vine og hedvine. Vingården nyder international anerkendelse for ambitiøse prestigecuvéer som Cigalus, Clos d'Ora og Château l'Hospitalet samt for sine elegante tørre rosévine, udtryksfulde enkeltdruevine og historiske Vins Doux Naturels.
