The bunches are immediately pressed in a pneumatic press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe must is then fermented, which takes place at low temperature (16 and 18°) to preserve the aromas as much as possible. The wine is aged in stainless steel vats on fine lees before being bottled in the spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCER NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGerard Bertrand is synonymous with Southern France. Owner of 16 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe holds the belief that viticulture in harmony with nature is the best way to express terroir in the wine. Although Gerard officially joined the family business in 1987, his journey started much earlier than that, as he worked with his father Georges from 1975 onwards. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNEED ADVICE? ASK A SOMM LIVE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAny questions about this wine?
