In 1975, Gérard Bertrand began his grape harvest at Château de Villemajou in the Corbières, where he discovered his passion for wine. Over the course of twelve years, he honed his skills alongside his father Georges Bertrand until the fourth generation finally carried on the legacy. After the tragic death of his father in 1987, Gérard Bertrand took over the family management of the Domaine de Villemajou and founded the Gérard Bertrand wine company. The Gérard Bertrand Group comprises 16 wine estates and 16 châteaux along the Mediterranean coast of France, covering a total of 850 hectares. Some of the hand-harvested grapes are matured in 225-litre Bordeaux barrels, while the rest is stored in stainless steel tanks.

Gérard Bertrand Le Chouchou is a contemporary wine that captivates with its delicate, light and fresh style and offers an attractive alternative to red wine. With its low alcohol content and the temperature at which it is served, which emphasises the freshness of its aromas, it is ideal for special moments with friends.

The grapes for Le Chouchou come from the high-altitude terroirs of the Cévennes, where they are grown organically and harvested early in the morning to ensure optimal conditions. The main grape variety, Grenache, is macerated in vats for one day to extract colour and fruity aromas without tannins. The cuvée is made from Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, followed by malolactic fermentation. After maturing in barrels for three months, the wine is bottled and sealed with a screw cap.

Tasting Note

Bright ruby red in the glass. Subtle and ripe aromas of red fruit on the nose. A silky texture on the palate with notes of ripe strawberries and cherries. A fine spiciness and soft, well-integrated tannins refine the flavour. Long and persistent on the finish.

An excellent accompaniment to fresh salads, meat and grilled vegetables.
