2021 Montcalmès, Terrasses du Larzac, Languedoc

Domaine de Montcalmès was established in 1998 by Frédéric Pourtalié and his father in the village of Montcalmès, 30km north-west of Montpellier in the sector of Terrasses du Larzac in the Languedoc region. Frédéric was trained at his neighbour La Grange des Pères (yes, France has his own Grange too!), which is one of the most iconic wines made in France and the most premium wine of the Languedoc. Another address worth mentioning as a mentor is the superstar Alain Graillot in Crozes-Hermitages.
