Domaine de Montcalmes Languedoc / Roussillon, France |
|

This up-and-coming domaine is run by the young Frédéric Pourtalié, who inherited 40 hectares from his father in the mid 1990s. Whereas his father sold all his grapes to the local co-operative, Frédéric, a former student of Laurent Vaillé at the indomitable Domaine de Grange des Peres, aims to make a top-flight Languedoc wine. From his vines in Aniane, Pourtalié achieves staggeringly low yields, between 10 hl/ha (for the Syrah) and 30 hl/ha (for the Mourvedre). Furthermore, of his 40 hectares, he only vinifies 10 hectares of the best vines. The main cuvée produced here is a blend of 65-70% Syrah with roughly equal percentages of Mourvedre and Grenache. Aged in one-to-three year-old barriques, the wine is dense, concentrated, and powerful, yet still balanced and complex. |
