Gerard Bertrand is a wine legend in the South of France. Owner of 17 estates, including the inimitable Chateau l’Hospitalet, he is a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in quality winemaking, and has been devoted to biodynamics since 2002.
Gerard Bertrand holds the belief that viticulture in harmony with nature is the best way to express terroir in the wine. From the age of 10, his father Georges Bertrand taught him his vision: the virtues of hard work, of paying attention to the thousand and one details and the pride of his origins. He has been managing the wine business alone since the age of 22, after his father died. Gerard credits his father as a pioneer, saying that he was one of the first people to believe in the potential of the region and wanting to reveal the terroir. At the heart of the business is a family, with the fourth generation getting ready to step up to the plate.
