Jon Bon Jovi is known in his family as a big Rosé fan. Always has been, especially at the family home in the Hamptons. So when his son talked to him about starting his own winery in France focusing on Pink wine, he didn’t immediately shut the idea down.
Instead, he did what any good father would do when his son has a dream that he wants to pursue: He did everything he could to make it come true.
The elder Bongiovi flew his son out to France and had him tour wineries, shaking hands and meeting winemakers searching for the right fit. For the Bongiovis, it was about finding the best partner possible. Someone who would pour their own blood, sweat, and tears into the project in addition to being an innovative, talented winemaker. The more people they met and the more folks they asked, it became clear that Gerard Bertrand was the obvious choice, as long as he was willing. Fortunately, he said yes.
Gerard Bertrand is a legend in the South of France. Born and raised in the Languedoc, you can find no greater champion of wine in the region. The big press, the accolades, the waitlist for folks looking to hire him as a consultant…for all those without 11 platinum records.
Five years in, the Hampton Water Rose project is a smashing success. It already saw a Top 100 list from Wine Spectator in its first ever vintage! It’s even made more top 100s in the five vintages since.

90 Points, Decanter
A joint-project between Languedoc wine maestro, Gerard Bertrand and Jon Bon Jovi and his son, Jesse, this rosé is inspired by those of Provence but has its own identity. Ripe, fresh cherry and strawberry fruit aromas are joined by a herbal touch, while in the mouth it’s impressively sapid and mineral. Flavours of strawberry and herbs lead the way, with some peppery spice emerging on the fresh finish.
95 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 94 Points,Wine Spectator
Robert Parker, Jr. gave it 95 points and called it “one of the finest Warre’s I’ve ever tasted” and “a profound example of Warre vintage port.” Additionally, “Tasters should take note of the wealth of peppery, licorice-scented and flavored raspberry and blackcurrant fruit. Look for it to be ready to drink in 10-12 years, and keep for 30+.”
At 350 feet above sea level, growing seasons are often extended with warm days and cool, breezy nights. The diurnal changes of temperature help create healthy vines and grapes that are packed full of complexity, concentration and energy. Ain’t a whole of Provence wineries that can compare. We’ve offered Val de Caire’s spectacular Provence Rouge before, but their bread and butter wine, the Coteaux d’Aix en-Provence Rose has finally been imported into the U.S. for the first time. People are gonna go nuts for this wine.
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
The Bernard Reverdy Sancerre Rose 2022 is gorgeous. A beautiful pale pink to the brim, this baby is fresh and super aromatic with a complex nose of citrus, wild strawberries and white flowers. With air, higher tones emerge, with a great mingling of ripe fruit, and stony minerality. Medium-bodied, fresh and focused on the palate, with concise limestone-drive acidity, this is an elegant, lively, and energetic Sancerre Rose that mirrors the warm vintage but also the old vines rooting deep in stony soils. This is so much better than your run-of-the mill Rose – it’s an ageworthy, food-friendly Rose
