✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the visionary winemaker Gérard Bertrand, Kosmos is a tribute to the harmonious relationship between the vine, the earth, and the celestial forces. Sourced from organic and biodynamically farmed vineyards across the sun-drenched Languedoc region of Southern France, this expressive red blend typically unites Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Carignan. The name reflects Bertrand's deep commitment to biodynamics, where vineyard practices align with cosmic rhythms. Grown on diverse clay-limestone soils and shaped by the dry Mediterranean winds, the grapes undergo traditional vinification with a portion aged in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a rich, velvety tapestry of dark berry fruits, wild garrigue herbs, and sweet spices, embodying the wild beauty and ancient viticultural heritage of the Languedoc.
🍾 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.
