"Huge champion of organic and biodynamic wine making." -Simon Mayo Radio Show
Gérard Bertrand decided he wished to relate his life journey and share his commitment to nature. Drawing on his experience as both a wine grower and a business leader, he demonstrates how the harmony of ecosystems, respect for nature and the preservation of living soils can be the pillars of a new paradigm, creating the conditions for a more balanced life and bringing hope for future generations. In this book, he also analyzes how society is changing, and invites the reader to put fear aside and "dare" - in spite of the prevailing climate - to practice altruism, brotherhood, and an opening of the heart.
