AboutClot de l’Oum
Clot de l’Oum is led by brothers Arthur and Eddy Bertrand. The domaine now covers about 12 hectares around Bélesta and the Fenouillèdes, with old vines planted high in the Roussillon landscape. Schist, mica-schist, gneiss and granite occur in parcels at roughly 400 to 600 metres.
The estate farms organically and is converting to biodynamics. Hand-picked grapes ferment with indigenous yeasts, with concrete and older wood used for ageing. Sulphur use is kept low.

French Red
Tart cherry and dried raspberry meet black olive, thyme, warm stone and sun-baked garrigue. Medium-bodied and bright on its feet, the palate layers cranberry, sour cherry, pepper, earth and dried herbs over fine-grained tannins. A savoury mineral snap brings focus to the lingering finish. Serve slightly cool with roast chicken, herb-crusted lamb, mushrooms, grilled vegetables or charcuterie.
