"This wine, aged for 12 months in barrels, has a deep garnet color and reveals an intense and complex bouquet of undergrowth, leather, violet, black fruits, and licorice. A supple attack opens onto a harmonious, round palate with mellow tannins and a long, fruity finish." (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 90/100
Rated estate (2025 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Jérôme Bertrand's rigorous approach and hard work on the beautiful terroirs of Paziols have made the Bertrand-Bergé estate a model for the entire appellation. The entry-level red wines are affordable and exceed the quality standards of Fitou. The smooth Jean Sirven cuvée is named after the grandfather, who was already working to produce high-quality wines at the beginning of the last century. Today, this cuvée stands out among the elite of the greatest wines of the South thanks to its character and density. An essential address in Languedoc.

About the estate:
Following in the footsteps of his grandfather Jean Sirven, who made wine at the end of the 19th century, Jérôme Bertrand left the cooperative in 1993 to produce his own wines. He believed early on in the quality of the harsh terroirs of Fitou, cultivated and promoted the region's wines, and then raised his estate (40 hectares) to prominence. Since the 2011 harvest, the vineyard has been certified organic.

About wine:
More suited to the palate of an honest taster, Ancestrale offers the delicious brightness of radiant fruit with deep, sensual, and fresh tannins.
About the estate:
Located in Paziols, in the upper part of Fitou, near the Pyrénées-Orientales, this estate has been in the village for six generations. Jérôme, assisted by his sister and his wife Sabine, cultivates around forty hectares, divided into four plots, the main one being La Boulière, a place name combining rounded pebbles and crushed limestone. Initially devoted to red wines, this terroir also produces dry white wines. The 1911 cellar is well worth a visit. For those who wish to extend their stay in this wonderful setting, the estate offers lodgings and 4x4 tours of the vineyard.
