Rated estate (2025 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
Gérard Bertrand has built his name into one of the most dynamic brands in French viticulture. While he describes making wines from the South as an “art of living,” he is first and foremost a meticulous and demanding winemaker, striving for excellence across his 17 estates. This quest finds its culmination in Clos d’Ora, a magnificent vintage from the heights of La Livinière, and in a rosé from the Cabrières terroir, the Clos du Temple cuvée, which shines with its intense personality. Since 2002, he has been leading a large-scale conversion of his vineyards to organic and biodynamic farming, making his estate one of the most significant in France in terms of sustainable viticulture. All of the estates’ wines are remarkable.

About the wine:
The aroma of Château l'Hospitalet, with notes of juniper, rosemary, and juniper, immediately transports us to La Clape. The tannins are both firm and elegant, with a silky texture.
About the estate:
Over the past 20 years, former international rugby player Gérard Bertrand has built an exceptionally dynamic business in the Languedoc region. For this achievement, he was named “Wine Merchant of the Year” by *La Revue du Vin de France* in 2016. Starting with the family vineyard in Villemajou, in the Corbières region, in 1987, his empire now sells millions of bottles annually and encompasses several hundred hectares spread across various sites, from Malepère to the Terrasses du Larzac. Since 2012, he has produced his flagship Clos d'Ora cuvée using biodynamic methods, a practice he has extended to the entire vineyard. Château l'Hospitalet, just outside Narbonne, is a comprehensive, high-quality visitor center—a place well worth a stop.
