About this event
Join us for a journey through the vineyards of Southern France as we feature the wines of Gérard Bertrand, one of the region's most recognized and influential winemakers. His connection to wine began with his first harvest at Château de Villemajou in 1975, and today the Bertrand family represents four generations of winemaking tradition. Gérard Bertrand
Known for showcasing the distinctive terroirs of Southern France, Gérard Bertrand combines generations of tradition with a forward-thinking approach to viticulture. Since beginning the conversion of his estates to biodynamic farming in 2002, he has become especially recognized for his commitment to biodiversity, sustainability and wines that express a true sense of place.
