Gérard Bertrand
8th November 2024
One of the biggest wineries of the region and highly respected throughout, Gérard Bertrand offers something for everyone, from the whites, rosé’s red and chilled red, to the sparklings to their aged vintages, an incredible visual display of luxury and highly adapt staff that make you feel like royalty when staying at their onsite Hospitalet and enjoying an unforgettable dinner at L’Hospitalet Beach, a restaurant assembled for the summer directly on the beach.
Traveling back to 1975 in the vineyards of Château de Villemajouin, the heart of the Corbières that, Gérard Bertrand harvested his first grapes and discovered his passion for wine. Working alongside his father, Georges Bertrand for twelve years, developing the life long skills.
He developed and values performance and excellence which he’d learned on the rugby pitch, Gérard Bertrand is adamant in his quest to reveal the best terroirs of his region and continues sharing them across the world.
He would then take up the family torch at Domaine de Villemajou after the accidental death of his father in 1987, five years later, he created his own wine company Gérard Bertrand to create his range of wines from the finest regions in the South of France, he would expand by buying back the Domaine de Cigalus and the Château Laville Bertrou and acquiring Château L’Hospitalet Wine Resort Beach & Spa in 2002.
