“La Boulière is richer, marked by notes of candied red fruit, vanilla, and pepper. ” (Le Guide RVF 2023) This reliable choice comes from a high-altitude terroir set upon a sea of ancient pebbles dating back to the Oligocene. A wine of great class, concentrated in body and flavor (wild aromas, intense and ripe fruit), and balanced by a mineral tannic structure.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2025 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Jérôme Bertrand’s dedication and hard work on the fine terroirs of Paziols have made the Bertrand-Bergé estate a benchmark for the entire appellation. The entry-level red wines are affordably priced and exceed Fitou’s quality standards. The smooth Jean Sirven cuvée bears the name of the grandfather, who was already dedicated to quality viticulture at the beginning of the last century. Today, this cuvée stands out among the elite of the South’s greatest wines thanks to its character and depth. An essential destination in Languedoc.

Rated estate (2025 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Following in the footsteps of his grandfather Jean Sirven, who produced wine in the late 19th century, Jérôme Bertrand left the cooperative in 1993 to make his own wines. He believed early on in the quality of Fitou’s rugged terroirs, nurtured and promoted the region’s wines, and eventually established his estate (40 hectares) among the finest. Since the 2011 harvest, the vineyard has been certified organic.

About wine:
La Boulière is more complex, with notes of candied red berries, vanilla, and pepper.
About the estate:
Located in Paziols, in the upper part of Fitou, near the Pyrénées-Orientales, this estate has been part of the village for six generations. Jérôme, supported by his sister and his wife Sabine, cultivates some forty hectares, divided into four plots, the main one being La Boulière, a site characterized by a mix of rounded pebbles and crushed limestone. Originally dedicated to red wines, this terroir also shines in dry whites. The 1911 cellar is well worth a visit. For those wishing to extend their stay in this wonderful setting, the estate offers guesthouses as well as 4x4 tours through the vineyards.
