Domaine de Montcalmès makes just one red, and Frédéric Pourtalié gives it the attention most estates spread across a whole range. He vinifies his Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre plot by plot, and keeps the fruit from rolled-pebble ground apart from the fruit grown on limestone scree until the final blend. This 2012 now has more than a decade of age behind it. A serious Languedoc red rewards that kind of patience but rarely gets it. The domaine itself began with a break: the family's grapes all went to the local cooperative until 1998, when Frédéric and his father Jean-Marie set up their own cellar. Their first red came in 1999, just 5,000 bottles. Today Frédéric runs the estate with his sister Muriel, with vines in Puéchabon, Aniane, St Jean de Fos and St Saturnin de Lucian, all in the Terrasses du Larzac hills about 30 km northwest of Montpellier. The name comes from Montcalmès, an abandoned hamlet on the plateau above the Hérault valley, where part of the family's paternal line came from.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Slow-roasted lamb shoulder with rosemary and garlic; duck confit with sarladaise potatoes; wild boar or beef daube; cassoulet.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Terrasses du Larzac profile: dark cherry and blackberry fruit with garrigue herbs, black olive and pepper. Typically full-bodied yet fresh from the cool hillside sites, with firm, fine tannins and a long, savoury finish that turns leathery with age. Think of a Southern Rhône red with a little more lift.
