Wine Region: Languedoc Roussillon - France
Grapes: 60% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache.
Tasting notes: Terrasses du Larzac from Domaine de Montcalmes has an aromatic expression of ripe red fruits, tea leaves, with vanilla and tobacco in the background. Charming, velvety, yet lively attack, with notes of red fruits, black fruits, vegetal, and some spices in the finish
About the winery: Domaine de Montcalmès is located 30 km north-west of Montpellier. It takes its name from the hamlet of Montcalmès located on the plateau of the same name which overlooks the Hérault valley. Originally, the family farm had 30 ha of vines fully vinified in a cooperative cellar. In 1998, Frédéric Pourtalié and his father Jean-Marie decided to create a special cellar. The first wine making in red took place in 1999 and only 5000 bottles were produced.
Today, Domaine de Montcalmès produces around 50,000 bottles a year. The property extends over 22 ha in the municipalities of Puéchabon, Aniane, St Jean de Fos and St Saturnin de Lucian (municipalities all part of the Terrasses du Larzac appellation).
