Cork Talk with Gérard Bertrand

Gérard Bertrand combined a career as a top-level rugby player and winemaker in his twenties, but is now entirely focused on his eponymous business in the Languedoc-Roussillon. In the course of a wide-ranging conversation, we discuss his pioneering grandmother, Paule, his commitment to biodynamics, his passion for blending grape varieties, and why the south of France is in his DNA.
