Located on the coast, Château de l’Hospitalet looks down on the Mediterranean from a height of a hundred meters. Having a semiarid Mediterranean climate with mild winters, the vineyard enjoys exceptional climatic conditions: the quantity of sunshine and the heat stored during the day by the limestone and released to the grapes at night, and the effect of the Mediterranean which reduces temperature differences and the altitude which counteracts the summer heat. Two types of soil contribute to the generosity, aromatic complexity and liveliness and freshness of this cuvée: the Gargasian marl-limestone at the foot of the cliff is rich in fossils and provides water to the vine stocks all through summer in spite of the absence of summer rain; and the red Mediterranean soil from the Barremian period, formed on compact grey-blue limestone and reclaimed from the garrigue, enables the production of rich and concentrated wines. The grapes are cultivated using sustainable methods that respect the Terra Vitis procedure, guaranteeing the traceability of growing practices which are verified by an independent body.
The start of picking all depends on the ripeness checks on the grapes, on the analysis of the polyphenols in their skins and on their daily tasting as the date of the harvest approaches. The picking of ripe, healthy grapes is essential to reach optimal quality. The grapes are picked by hand and carried in tubs to the cellar within the hour. They are then sorted and destemmed before being transferred to temperature-controlled vats. Each grape variety is vinified separately. Maceration lasts between 20 and 25 days. At the end of the winter, the wines are transferred into new 225- litre barrels where they are left for 12 to 16 months in the magnificent barrel cellar of Hospitalet, which houses some 2,000 barrels. The fine lees are periodically stirred. The finest barrels of each grape variety are selected and blended to produce this wine.
The colour is a brilliant ruby. The intense nose is dominated by spicy and red fruit (strawberry) aromas. The mouth presents silky and fine tannins underlining the fruity freshness of this wine.
Serve at 16 ° C with a rack of lamb, game birds or mature cheeses. This fleshy, harmonious wine with an elegant structure, can be drunk now and portends a most promising future.

We found our new favorite poolside sip! La Grande Bleue Méditerranée, an organic wine made with 5 artfully blended grapes, takes us back to this past summer's adventure in Languedoc, France. The crisp taste is perfect to enjoy on what has been an exceptionally hot summer in both Southern California and Southern France! Thank heavens for La Grande Bleue!!
I love that I'm getting something that's less harmful and still enjoyable!

Our family has a tradition of "Laundry Room wine". It is wine of a high caliber that we hide in the laundry room and only tell a select few about. Those who have a discerning appreciation for tasty wines! Blanc Gris quickly became a "laundry room wine' after my husband and I discovered it on our recent vacation to the Languedoc region of France. I brought it to share with my daughter and sister-in-law who greatly appreciated this addition to our Laundry Room Wine List
It’s light and crisp and the perfect warm weather drink.
Delicious, a crisp cremant that is not too sweet.
I drank all of these in less than one week! It’s so good I keep restocking!
Trouble xp White - non-filtered, cloudy, organic, vegan wine
Wonderful Chardonnay style white wine.
I love this sparkling wine! I first tasted it on a Carnival Cruise and I have been in love ever since. I do not drink any other alcoholic beverage. I ordered three bottles and will be ordering three more! Order yours today!!! You will not be disapointed!!
All is well for a summer of Cotes des roses!
Loved it.Fruity and light.
Friday happy hour with friends about to kick off

I ordered this at a restaurant last summer and finally ordered a few because I couldn't stop thinking about how much I enjoyed it. It Came packaged beautifully!
Great wine!
We loved, will definitely order again!
Intense dark cherry fruit, bright acidity, some tobacco, medium to full-bodied with firm tannins. It is a delicious, round, and pleasing wine.
Very nice.
The taste is out of this World. Love it
Lovely, smooth, no bad after effects.
Great experience, fast shipping and wonderful wine.
I loved it
This is my wife's favorite wine. Thank you so much. Great service.
The wine was smooth yet complex and very satisfying to keep in the mouth for a few swirls. Delightful to know that Gérard Bertrand’s growing methods are sustainable and mindful of taking care of the land.
I am beyond pleased with the wonderful product and amazing service. Shipping was so fast and packaging was strong and secure. So thankful that they shipped my order via UPS. I love the wine. I can’t find this wine in a small town I live close to. Will definitely buy from this company for sure. Highly recommend! Thank you
Arrived on time!
I had this wine at a restaurant and loved it, that's why I ordered it. Very smooth and palatable with all kinds of food. It came so fast
Excellent wive and value!

It was difficult to have it delivered. The wine is more tonic than expected.
I didn’t get what I ordered, I got a sparkling wine instead and I sent an email explaining that and I haven’t received an answer. I want the wine I ordered please.
It's nice and heavy, but defintely reads like new wine.

I can not find this wine locally, but the nearest Costco carries it around Christmas. I think it is the perfect summer wine. It is light and not very sweet; and the bottle is exquisite. I will order again before the summer is over, I am sure.
Full bodied. Perfect!

My wife's favorite wine, also a great hostess gift for friends homes.
My Sister-in-law’s favorite wine! Nice and crisp - not too sweet. Shipping was a bit slow but worth it. If sending as a gift be sure to allow enough shipping time.
My husband and I had this particular bottle of wine on a recent cruise we were on. It was one of the wines offered during a wine tasting we did. We loved the wine and wanted to try it again once we got home. We are looking forward to having it again. The one negative was in the packaging of the wine and shipment. I’m very surprised the wine arrived without the bottle breaking. I’ve never seen something breakable, and liquid packaged so badly. There was no bubble wrap. Only a few pieces of cardboard providing any cushion at all, and that’s a stretch to say it was cushioned. The box it was shipped in was pieced together. Overall I was extremely disappointed in how the wine was shipped. As much as we love the wine, and would potentially want to buy from you again, I would be very concerned that the next time the bottle wouldn’t arrive without breaking if the same lack of care was given to the next shipment.
Nice rose.
I am a dipping my toe back into red wines so take this under consideration. I first started trying a Bertrand upon discovering Moulin a Vent Petit Bois which I very much liked. This led me to try another Bertrand wine, which is the one I purchased. I love it. At first aroma, I smell pepper, first taste fresh picked cherries and plums with a hint of Sarawak pepper, then coriandre, and turmeric. The way I cook I could easily pair this with a lighter meat and spice forward dish. So happy to discover another delicious Bertrand wine.
This was not the greatest - we have a recurring order - the combination of the holidays and the weather made for a delay in delivery - including expecting two cases at the same time and o ly getting them one at a time
