"Origines" is the starting point for Jérôme Bertrand's approach, which celebrates his roots in the Paziols region of Languedoc-Roussillon while also paying tribute to past generations. This juicy, powerful wine, with notes of candied fruit, is a pure delight to taste.

Rated estate (2025 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About wine:
The entry-level wines listed in red are affordably priced and exceed the standard quality benchmarks for Fitou.
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 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.

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on March 25, 2025
Favorite this vintage in the rich and warm 2022 harvest. A perfect balance of depth, surprising freshness, charming smoothness, and a lovely juiciness centered on abundant, crisp fruit, nuanced by hints of spice and smoke, with a slightly rich, velvety, and enveloping texture that provides beautiful body without excessive power. An intensely fruity and deliciously lingering finish. A surprising price for such a well-crafted wine. Immediate enjoyment with a crispy beef parmentier gratin topped with Comté cheese and breadcrumbs, accompanied by a lovely crisp salad. Rating = 4.2.
