The Bertrand family
Château la sauvageonne
The expression of Earth and Fire
Acquired by Gérard Bertrand in 2012, Château La Sauvageonne overlooks the Terrasses du Larzac at an altitude of 300 metres. This vineyard draws its strength from a rare volcanic terroir of red ruffes, schist and sandstone, forged by an intense geological past.
The thermal amplitude between sunny days and cool nights allows for slow ripening, a guarantee of aromas of great finesse. Farmed in biodynamics since 2017 (certified AB and Demeter), the estate places respect for the living at the heart of its identity.
In this wild and unspoilt landscape, each cuvée reveals a perfect alliance between power, freshness and elegance. The pure expression of the greatest terroirs of the Languedoc.
The estate's iconic cuvées
Château La Sauvageonne Grand Vin Rouge, 2022
AOP Terrasses du Larzac
Grape varieties: Grenache Noir, Syrah, Carignan
Between wild power and pure elegance, this grand vin draws its intensity from the depths of a unique volcanic terroir. It reveals notes of garrigue, jammy dark fruits and gingerbread. The tannins, fine and silky, are supported by a beautiful vivacity that perfectly balances the power of the wine. An expressive cuvée, perfect for accompanying grilled meats or Larzac cheeses.
Château la Sauvageonne La Villa, 2021
AOP Languedoc
Grape varieties: Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Rolle, Viognier
La Villa embodies the most intimate dimension of the estate. This single-vineyard cuvée is born from a selection nestled around the villa that watches over the top of the vineyard.
On this terroir of volcanic schist known as the "singing stones", the vines draw a depth and unique minerality, expressing subtle floral aromas and white peach. This cuvée is an ideal match for a fillet of cod, a roast guinea fowl or pan-fried scallops.
