The Viala comes from a small parcel of land at the Château Laville Bertrou, situated amongst the exceptional terroirs of the appellation La Livinière, officially acknowledged since 1998. Gérard Bertrand acquired this uncommon plot of land
in 1997 and encouraged the development of strong and powerful wines. This wine benefits from the semi-arid Mediterranean climate; the Viala is exposed to the conditions of the mid-south in the heights of the village la Livinière at around 120m of altitude. The ground is made of a mosaic of stripped marlstones, associated to chalky limestone, as compact limestones date back to the Eocene period, from millions years ago. This type of ground naturally limits the growth of each grape, but thanks to a long settling period, it helps their resistance to the rainfall and aquatic stress. The
strong summer sun helps the favored process of the slow maturing of the grapes. The three grapes assembled for this wine express in a complementary way the hints of this unique terroir that is the Viala.
The harvest is triggered after a very precise monitoring of maturities and a daily grape tasting. The harvest is manual, and the grapes are meticulously sorted upon entering the cellar. The Syrah and Carignan grapes are put entirely into vats and vinified separately by carbonic maceration. The Grenache are destemmed and vinified with traditional maceration closely controlling the temperatures. After draining the vats and the malolactic fermentation of the wine, the different grape varieties are blended, and
the wine is sunk into oak barrels to age for 12 months. We select the best coopers in order to adapt the choice of origins of wood and their types of heating with the potential of each vintage. The wines are neither fined nor filtered before bottling, and the bottles are then stored for 12 months before being sold.
The color is a beautiful deep garnet.
On the nose, the Viala is powerful, revealing notes of ripe fruit and violet.
Very beautiful attack, smooth tannins, woody notes, beautiful balance, infinite length... On the palate, this cuvée is very greedy! The Viala has great ageing potential.
Best served at 18°C, to accompany grilled red meats, game or fine cheeses.

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
