The birth of a passion for wine and biodynamics
It was in 1975, in the vineyards of Château de Villemajouin the heart of the Corbièresthat Gérard Bertrand harvested his first grapes and discovered his passion for wine.
He perfected his apprenticeship during twelve years at the side of his father Georges Bertrand.
We are now in the fourth generation of winegrowers, from Paule to Georges, then Gérard Bertrand and finally Emma & Mathias.
Gérard Bertrand is very attached to the values of performance and excellence learnt on the rugby fields. He is pursuing his quest to reveal the best terroirs of his region and to promote them throughout the world.
It was in this spirit that he took over the family business at Domaine de Villemajou after the accidental death of his father in 1987. Five years later, he created the Gérard Bertrand wine company to develop a range of wines from the South of France.
In the following years, he will buy back the Domaine de Cigalus and the Château Laville
