I also had misgivings about Gerard until I spent time with the man, and overall I too think he is doing a good, and much needed job for the Languedoc. A couple of years ago I was fortunate enough also to enjoy some of his hospitality and wrote a post about it: http://blog.winetravelguides.com/category/vineyard-visits/2009/10/12/the-french-giant-wakes-up-to-wine-tourism/ Since that visit I've tasted a few of his wines on and off, and at every level I find them correct, but perhaps not exciting, yet, the man is a good person doing a good thing, for this giant of a region, in his own way, as you are doing in your own way.

I don't like overemphasizing the difference between small producers and larger scale productions, but it's a subject that comes up pretty often anyway. But I guess what I'm trying to convey is that the brand Gerard Bertrand is big but the character of the individual is a lot like many other winemakers I've met in the region. Does that make sense? Thanks for your input ;D As to the quality of the wine, he has a huge range so I can't speak for all of it. I think his supermarket Hospitalet cuvées are very solid wines and the cigalus white is a stunner. I've had some wines from him that were a bit pricey in my opinion, but I haven't had bad wine with his name on it. Then again, they're obviously showing me their best when I visit.

Sun, 18 Dec 2011 13:46:29 +0000 http://love-that-languedoc.com/?p=1211#comment-11216 I recently went to a wine shop tasting of a line of Gerard Bertrand's wines here in Maine (USA). I had an open mind because I love Languedoc wines and read good things about his winery operation. However, I was underwhelmed by the wines, especially the reds, which i would have expected to like (I bought a Viognier). While I didn't consider them bad, I found them very mainstream wines without what I would call "Languedoc character." The distributor, who knows my taste, said he had a feeling that they wouldn't be my style; this line was basically made for the American market. Among other things, the packaging was very elegant. Well, I guess anything that helps sell and promote Languedoc wines in America is good. I recently went to a wine shop tasting of a line of Gerard Bertrand’s wines here in Maine (USA).

Sometimes its hard to reconcile the vast scale of the Bertrand business with the desire to see small independent producers thrive and survive but there is no doubting the passion and commitment he brings and this will help put Languedoc wines closer to centre stage for those who have not yet been converted!
