Tasting notes
The 2022 Domaine de Montcalmès Terrasses du Larzac is a highly complex and elegant Languedoc red, marked by a deep garnet hue and a finely balanced blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. The nose is intense and expressive, revealing layers of blackcurrant and blackberry intertwined with classic garrigue herbs and licorice. On the palate, the wine shows remarkable finesse, with silky tannins framing a refined, harmonious structure, leading into a long, persistent finish carried by subtle spice and freshness.
More About The Winery
Domaine de Montcalmès is a family estate situated 30km Northwest of Montpellier. The estate underwent radical changes in 1998, the year the Pourtalié family bought it, in order to produce and bottle its own wines under its own label. Here, the ambition is to get the best of the vines, while respecting the environment. Traditional techniques, organic farming, very low yields, and gravitational system in the cellar are key factors to the high quality wine produced at the domain. Frédéric Pourtalié and his sister Muriel immediately gained local, national, and international recognition for their wines. They started the organic conversion of the domain in 2012.
