Christmas: a unique occasion to share with family

In this period of lockdown, what could be more important than family? Christmas represents surely the most important occasion of the year to gather around those we love.

A moment of sharing and goodwill par excellence, Christmas allows us to refocus, for a few days, on those who are dear to us.

Wine, that unique beverage carrying the symbol of sharing and connection between people for thousands of years, is arguably the drink that best embodies the Christmas celebration.

On our online shop, you will find all manner of exceptional wines — reds, whites, rosés, sparkling, natural sweet wines, prestige wines and old vintages — to make this Christmas season unforgettable.

 Gift idea: Découverte les Parcelles gift set

 Some estates and châteaux possess, within their own territory, areas of vines benefiting from an extraordinary location, owing to their geographical position and soil composition. These are single-plot wines.

 With the Découverte Les Parcelles gift set, you will enjoy three iconic wines from the Gérard Bertrand estates:

L'Hospitalitas - AOP La Clape

Located in the heart of the La Clape massif, the Hospitalitas plot overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. Sheltered from the wind by the protection of a cliff delineating two terroirs of white limestone soils and red marl soils, surrounded by a mulberry field and an olive grove, it receives the iodine-laden sea air from just a few hundred metres away.

 These unique characteristics give this wine a unique, powerful and generous flavour, with a distinctive saline minerality.

 Le Viala - AOP Minervois la Livinière

 Located at 250 metres above sea level, on the exceptional terroir of La Livinière, a historic hub of wine production in the Languedoc during antiquity, this plot is composed of deep-rooted vines from the perfect alliance of three grape varieties: grenache, carignan and Syrah.

Combining the power of grenache, the freshness of carignan and the roundness of Syrah, the Viala is a voluptuous wine offering a bouquet of unique flavours and aromas, with great ageing potential.

La Forge - AOP Corbières Boutenac

La Forge is a tribute wine from the favourite plot of Gérard Bertrand's father, Georges. Home to century-old Carignan and old Syrah vines, this plot offers a true alchemy between grape and terroir.

An opulent and generous concentrated wine, it is endowed with the richness and complexity of grapes from century-old vines, with a perfect balance between fruit and spice.
