OUR WINE ESTATES

Château La Sauvageonne

AOP Terrasses du Larzac - AOP Languedoc

The nature at La Sauvageonne is as wild as it is generous. The terroir is divided between the famous Ruffes soils and areas of sandstone and phonolitic schists (the singing stones).
Each grape variety has thus been planted in the soil best suited to its finest expression. The thermal amplitudes of summer slow the ripening of the berries and guarantee the wines a remarkable aromatic precision.
Each grape variety plays its finest harmonies, which allows us to create unprecedented blends to sublimate their expression. In the end, La Sauvageonne produces wines that are intriguing, sensual and elegant.
The Grand Vin white results from the blending of Grenache Blanc, Vermentino, Roussanne and Viognier, all from schist terroirs. The Grenache Blanc is vinified in tank and the other three varieties in barrels.
The rosé La Villa is an iconoclastic blend, born from the co-fermentation of red and white grape varieties: Grenache, Viognier, Vermentino and Mourvèdre.
The Grand Vin rouge is the marriage of heart and mind of the majority grape variety, Grenache Noir, blended with Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan, sourced from schist and Ruffes terroirs. The alliance of these so different yet complementary characters reveals an unrivalled aromatic complexity and silkiness of texture.

La Sauvageonne is a daughter of fire, in the image of the dreams of the former owner, a fiery
temperament, who developed this estate. The climate has an extreme character, with days ablaze with sunshine and nights cooled by the altitude (150–350 metres) and the fresh air currents from the Larzac.
The landscapes are marked by the seal of schists and volcanic soils (Ruffes),
emblematic of the appellation close to the Lac du Salagou — a tribute to human ingenuity, an ode to beauty and biodiversity.

From our sun-drenched lands in the South of France, we cultivate excellence, sustainable commitment and a passion for wine, to convey the Art de Vivre in every bottle

A Visionary of Wine and Biodynamics

Who is Gérard Bertrand?

A committed winegrower and ambassador of the great terroirs of the South of France, Gérard Bertrand embodies excellence and innovation in the world of wine. Heir to a lineage of winemakers, he harvested his first grapes at Château de Villemajou and forged a unique vision, combining respect for tradition with a pursuit of modernity.

A former rugby player, he transposed onto his estates the values of performance and self-surpassing acquired on the field. A pioneer of biodynamics, he has established himself as a leader in sustainable wine, shining a light on exceptional terroirs through viticulture that respects nature and the cycles of life. Today at the helm of several emblematic estates, he works to spread the art de vivre Mediterranean lifestyle and the singularity of Languedoc wines on the international stage.

"You immerse yourself in the art de vivre and the gentle Mediterranean way of life in this magical place that bridges gastronomy, history, the culture of our region and art in all its forms"
