Our Story
We are Arthur and Eddy Bertrand, two brothers. Passionate about wine and both coming from agricultural fields, we wanted to create our wine together. In early 2020, we fell in love with the Domaine du Clot de L'Oum. The perfect place to develop our wine project according to our values. We decided to carry on the tradition in the greatest respect of terroir and nature. Eric and Léia Monné, then owners of the vineyard, passed the torch to us.
Two brothers making wine
We are Arthur and Eddy Bertrand, two brothers with a passion for wine.
After having made wine in various French wine regions such as Bandol, in the Côtes de Provence, in Burgundy (at the Clos du Moulin aux Moines) or in New Zealand on Foxes Island, Arthur, more and more eager to make his own wine, submits to Eddy, vineyard technician for the Sainte-Victoire winegrowers' association and an agricultural engineer, the idea of setting up.
Passionate about the wines of Roussillon, we naturally turned to it, convinced of the potential of the terroir. We met Eric and Leia, owners of the Clot de l'Oum estate, who were looking for successors who would continue the work they had began since 2000 to produce wines that honored this magnificent Roussillon's terroir.
Clot de l'Oum, a human
and family adventure
Grandsons of farmers, we have always been immersed in the agricultural field, with the desire to become part of it someday. We naturally found our place in wine culture and we decided to write our story at the Domaine du Clot de l'Oum, with our parents, Brigitte and Jean-Marc. This return to basics is above all motivated by our goal to live a human adventure, surrounded by our family and friends. Our recipe: vineyards managed with passion, cuvées made in our image and reflecting our sensitivity, all leading to moments of sharing around our wines.
Our Philosophy
Henri Jayer said "Nature is your boss". Aware of the need to integrate with nature, we work with humility and patience to protect it. Our wines reflect our desire to transmit emotions and express the richness of our terroir. Driven by the satisfaction of creating our own wines, we seek to maintain the perfect balance between tradition, respect of the environment and innovation. We aspire to lead a virtuous project and refocus on what is essential by keeping a small-scale vineyard. Our ambition is to further embed the estate in the heritage of Bélesta and Fenouillèdes.
" We like to think that the Clot de l'Oum is a rough diamond and our mission is to polish it, as a family. "
