After studying wine and work experience in Burgundy and California, Adrien took over his Grandfather Raymond Bertrand in 2009. The first year he moved to organic viticulture, certified in 2012 and since 2020 he is applying Biodynamie. Agriculture is a work of patience and it took him 10 years to get nature back on track with healthy living soils. The move towards biodynamie is the continuity of his Philosophy. The Domaine covers 20ha and everything is done manually by a closed knit team surrounding Adrien. One thing is for sure, he doesn’t count the hours spent in his vineyards! His wines capture his natural cheerfulness and with a very strong Provencal accent to top it off.
