Gérard Bertrand began harvesting grapes at Château de Villemajou in the Corbières in 1975, 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 Château L'Hospitalet La Clape impresses with an elegant, dry flavour profile that is characterised by exceptionally low residual sugar. The powerful cuvée is made from the Bourboulenc, Roussanne, Vermentino and Viognier grape varieties and reflects the unmistakable charm of the Old World.

The white wine benefits significantly from the Mediterranean climate of the Languedoc, where the grapes ripen perfectly under warm conditions and reach a high must weight. After careful harvesting, the grapes are processed quickly, gently crushed and fermented at controlled temperatures in large oak barrels. The wine then matures for several months in French oak barrels before being bottled and sealed with a natural cork.
