NEW VINTAGE 2017 RELEASED
Coteaux du Languedoc 
 
In recent years, Domaine de Montcalmès has made a reputation for itself as a rising star of the Languedoc.
Since the talented Frédéric Pourtalié accepted to take over the family domain in 1999, he totally transformed it. The grapes that Frédéric’s family were once selling off in bulk are now found in 3 Star Michelin restaurants across France and are sought after around the world.

Chardonnay 2017
Pays d'Hérault
$1995/case of 6 bottles

Grapes : 100% Chardonnay
Average age of the vines : 10 years old.
A rarity! Chardonnay on limestone brings more terroir typicity than grapes variety typicity. This white is one of the most beautiful bottles of the region.
FREDERIC POURTALIE
How he transformed the family estate 
Frédéric Pourtalié farms around twenty-five hectares of vines in the newly created appellation of the Terrasses de Larzac. Based in Puechabon, some of the vines are in the neighboring villages of Aniane and Saint Saturnin. In 1999 Frédéric and his sister Muriel took the helm of Domaine Montcalmès, and for the first time produced and bottled wine from their own vineyards.

The diverse collection of terroirs - from clay and limestone to pudding stones - gives the wines of Montcalmès balance, complexity and concentration. At night, cool air from the Cévennes mountains lowers the temperature by as much as 15-20°C. The combination of warm days and cool nights helps to achieve an amazing balance between ripe fruit, bright acidity, and soft tannins. 

The domaine practices organic methods in the vineyard and has been certified as organic since 2015.
