From an exploration of the soul of southern French terroirs to the complex art of blending, unfolds the remarkable journey of a dedicated and ambitious winegrower.

‘Blending is the Everest of the winemaker, the Opera Vertical which calls into question previous achievements and demands thorough preparation to conquer new faces of the same mountain, every single year. There is nothing more beautiful or more exhilarating in wine. It is the pinnacle, the ultimate act, and it is what reveals the imprint of the vintage.’ Gérard Bertrand

A winemaker of rare talent, Gérard Bertrand reveals how, driven by extraordinary determination and sensitivity, along with transformative encounters and relentless hard work, he has elevated wine blending to the status of a true artistic discipline. Year after year, vintage after vintage, he has honed his craft, revolutionized his viticultural practices to establish the world’s largest biodynamic vineyard, and expanded his business operations across 180 countries.

This book offers a fascinating deep dive into the journey of a passionate winemaker.
