Attached to his family roots in Corbières as much as to the life lessons he learned from rugby, Gérard Bertrand has built a wine empire out of intangible economic convictions, ambition for his region and a good dose of brilliant intuition.
EMOTIONS are boiling over in the skull of this big guy built on heat and sand.

Gérard waits a little longer before picking up. He wants to let the excitement die down.
