This wine has a yellow colour with brilliant reflections. Its intense and complex nose reveals notes of white fruits, citrus fruits, honey and white flowers. Ample and lively on the palate, it is very fresh.

Driven by a passion for the Mediterranean “Art de Vivre”, Gérard Bertrand reveals the unique expression of the “Terroirs” of this region. The vineyard is located on the banks of the Etang de Thau, between the garrigue and the sea. The Mediterranean climate limits the daily temperature differences, the sea breeze limits the rise in temperature during the day, the water mass of the pond constitutes a thermal flywheel which slows down the drop in temperature at night.

This wine goes wonderfully with shellfish (Charentaise mouclade, stuffed clams) and crustaceans, but also with fish (fried eels, Sète rouille)…

About Gérard Bertrand

It was in 1975, in the vineyards of Château de Villemajouin the heart of the Corbièresthat Gérard Bertrand harvested his first grapes and discovered his passion for wine. He perfected his apprenticeship during twelve years with his father Georges Bertrand. We are now in the fourth generation of winegrowers, from Paule to Georges, then Gérard Bertrand and finally Emma & Mathias.

Deeply attached to the values of performance and excellence learned on the rugby pitch, Gérard Bertrand continues his quest to reveal the best terroirs of his region and promote them worldwide. It was in this spirit that he took up the family torch at Domaine de Villemajou after the accidental death of his father in 1987.

Five years later, he created the wine company Gérard Bertrand to develop a range of wines from the South of France.
