"The 2017 vintage was named Best Red Wine in the World with a score of 97 points at the International Wine Challenge."

A great Languedoc wine with an intense and alluring nose, blending floral and red fruit notes, which opens up to a fresh palate with silky tannins and hints of garrigue. A harmonious, expressive, and delicately spicy wine that charms with its balance and personality. Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and shipping method selected).

Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100

Rated estate (2026 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

Gérard Bertrand has made his name one of the most dynamic brands in the French wine industry. 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 the Clos d’Ora, a magnificent wine 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:

L'Hospitalet impresses with its slender, dense yet delicate structure. It will take time to reach its full potential.

About the estate:

Over the past 20 years, former international rugby player Gérard Bertrand has built an exceptionally dynamic business in Languedoc. 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, in 1987, his empire now sells millions of bottles each year and encompasses several hundred hectares spread across various sites, from Malepère to the Terrasses du Larzac. Since 2012, he has been producing his flagship wine, Clos d’Ora, using biodynamic methods—a practice he has since extended to his entire vineyard. Château l’Hospitalet, just outside Narbonne, is a comprehensive, high-quality visitor center—a place well worth a stop.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 94/100

About the wine:

This is a well-structured, precise, and balanced blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre that displays dynamism and precision. Aromas of wild berries, braised meat, olives, bay leaves, peppercorns, and a hint of toasted fennel. It is full-bodied, with fine, firm tannins. Textured and precise, it has a harmonious fruitiness that pairs nicely with the bright spices and Mediterranean notes. The finish is lively and peppery, with good length.

About the wine:

A Syrah-dominated blend, La Clape Château L’Hospitalet’s 2022 Grand Vin is crafted from a selection of the finest barrels—after approximately 16 months of aging—from each of the five grape varieties that make up the blend. Fresh and supple, with dense, juicy tannins, the aromas unfold with fruity notes of dried fruit, dates, blueberry paste, and blackberries, as well as wood, vanilla, crème caramel, licorice, and graphite. A slightly sweet touch from the oak tannins complements the woody notes on the finish. A “gentleman farmer”-style red wine—a bit rustic around the edges but a real pleasure to drink.
