What the experts say...

"Une grande réussite en 2017, le rouge est la cuvée emblématique du domaine, et reste une référence dans les Terrasses du Larzac. Il a tout d’un grand, déjà délicieux avec ses notes de poivre, genièvre mais surtout il saura traverser le temps avec grâce, ses tanins sont délicats, sa persistance fabuleuse, avec élégance folle !", RVF Guide vert 2021

The wine

Information about domain Domaine de Montcalmès

In 1998, Frédéric Pourtalié left his local co-operative to found Domaine de Montcalmès. He had already studied under the most demanding of producers: Alain Graillot at Crozes-Hermitage and Olivier Jullien (Mas Jullien) and Laurent Vaillé at La Grange des Pères. To explain, Montcalmès, La Grange des Pères and Mas de Daumas Gassac are all sited around the village of Aniane in the Terrasses du Larzac – an enormous terroir whose profile these three domains have succeeded in raising. Located some thirty kilometres north-west of Montpelier, the operation covers 22 hectares of Terrasses du Larzac-appellation vines. The wines of Montcalmès have grown continually in precision and balance, and are now ranked among the finest wines of the Languedoc.
