Domaine de Montcalmes - Grenache 2017
The Domaine de Montcalmès is located in Languedoc, in the Terrasses du Larzac appellation for its red wines and Coteaux du Languedoc for its whites. The estate covers 22 hectares, in the municipalities of Puéchabon, Aniane, Saint-Jean-de-Fos and Saint-Saturnin-de-Lucian. The Domaine de Montcalmès is managed by Frédéric Pourtalié and his sister, Muriel since 1998. They cultivate Syrah and Grenache vines with an average age of thirty, as well as Mourvèdre. The estate has been conducted in organic farming since 2012, and certified since 2015.
The Grenache 2017 comes from vines of around thirty years established on a limestone plateau facing north, in the town of Puéchabon. The vinification is carried out with indigenous yeasts and undergoes a maceration for 30 days. The aging takes place in oak barrels of first use, second use or more for 24 months. The wine is bottled without filtration.
