In 1975, Gérard Bertrand began harvesting grapes at the Château de Villemajou in the Corbières region, where he discovered his passion for wine. Over the course of twelve years, he honed his skills working alongside his father, Georges Bertrand, until the fourth generation finally took up the mantle. Following the tragic death of his father in 1987, Gérard Bertrand took over the family business at the Domaine de Villemajou and founded the Gérard Bertrand wine company. The Gérard Bertrand Group comprises 16 vineyards and 16 châteaux along the Mediterranean coast of France, covering a total of 850 hectares. Some of the hand-harvested grapes are aged in 225-litre Bordeaux barrels, whilst the rest are stored in stainless-steel tanks.

Gérard Bertrand Héritage An 462 Languedoc is a powerful and elegant red wine from the Languedoc, made from the Syrah and Grenache grape varieties. The grapes are harvested separately and by hand to ensure optimal ripeness. The Syrah grapes undergo whole-bunch fermentation with a maceration period of around 15 days, whilst the Grenache grapes are given a longer maceration period of 3 weeks. Part of the wine is aged for 10 months in 225-litre Bordeaux barrels, which lends it additional depth.

Tasting Note

A deep, dark ruby red in the glass. On the nose, aromas of ripe black cherry, plum and black berries unfold, accompanied by spicy notes of pepper, liquorice and a subtle hint of oak. Full-bodied and velvety on the palate, with balanced acidity and a dense tannin structure that lends the wine an elegant depth. A long-lasting finish.

Serving temperature: 16–18 °C

This red wine is excellent with grilled meat, lamb chops, braised beef or spicy dishes such as curry and Provençal vegetables. It also pairs superbly with mature cheeses such as Comté or Manchego.
