Father’s Day: let’s celebrate the bond that unites us!
Two wines in homage to paternal transmission
To suggest a gift idea with strong symbolic significance or the wine for your family meal on a Father's Day Sunday, we are taking you today to Boutenac, in the heart of the Corbières.
It is at Château de Villemajou that the transmission of winemaking know-how took place from father to son. Here, in the vineyard and in the cellar, Gérard Bertrand began his initiation alongside Georges Bertrand at the age of 10.
Acquired by the Bertrand family in 1973, the vines of Château de Villemajou surround the buildings and extend over gently sloping hillsides on arid soils of rolled pebbles, beaten by the winds, summer and winter, and overlooking the plain.
Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre find a terroir to suit them. As for Carignans, they are at home! On the plot of La Forge, Georges Bertrand's favorite, their magnificent vines, knotted by time, are now a hundred years old.
The wines of Château de Villemajou, in the Corbières Boutenac appellation, bear within them the accomplishment of this meticulous work of transmission, magnified each year, with love and humility. The La Forge cuvée is the poignant homage of a son to his father.
