“Clos d’Ora is my life's work, a sanctuary of harmony.” — Gérard Bertrand
The 2017 vintage combines concentration from warm days with fresh energy from cool nights, yielding wines with black fruit intensity, polished structure, and serious cellaring potential through 2035.
Collector Evolution Note: Entering prime drinking window 2026 to 2035, gaining complexity and tertiary nuance annually.
Acquired by Gérard Bertrand in 1997, this enclosed nine-hectare site was transformed into a biodynamic beacon. The inaugural vintage released in 2012 established Clos d’Ora as his life's flagship, uniting mineral, vegetal, animal, and human elements in profoundly limited production (<12,000 bottles annually).
Secure this allocation without delay.
With annual production capped at fewer than 12,000 bottles from a walled biodynamic sanctuary, exceptional arbitrage at 50% below prevailing market levels, and a drinking window now opening toward peak maturity with continued collector evolution through 2035, Clos d’Ora presents a rare convergence of scarcity, pedigree, and value.
The choice, as always, is yours — though opportunities of this caliber rarely linger.
