About This Wine
La Forge is Gérard Bertrand's single-plot red from the Corbières-Boutenac cru, made from a parcel named La Forge on the land registry at Château de Villemajou. It was the favourite plot of his father, Georges, and the wine is made as a tribute to him.
The blend is old-vine Carignan, some of it planted more than a century ago, with Syrah. Yields are kept very low, around 25 hectolitres per hectare.
Gérard Bertrand grew up making wine with his father, Georges, at Château de Villemajou in Corbières, which Georges bought in 1973. Today the family farms estates across the Languedoc-Roussillon, many of them biodynamically.
