    Description Terrasses du Larzac

    Estate

    Domaine de Montcalmes is a well-regarded estate in the Languedoc region, known for its respectful approach to terroir and consistent wine quality. Located on high-altitude sites, the estate benefits from ideal conditions to produce wines that reflect the richness of southern France.

    Vineyard

    Situated in the Terrasses du Larzac area, the vineyard is planted on limestone soils with a Mediterranean climate tempered by altitude. This unique terroir allows for slow and progressive ripening, enhancing aromatic expression and tannin finesse.

    Wine

    This red wine perfectly illustrates the elegance of Languedoc blends with balanced notes and good complexity. It maintains notable freshness and a harmonious structure that complements the fruity and spicy flavors characteristic of its grape varieties.

    Vintage

    The 2020 vintage was marked by favorable weather with good spring rainfall followed by a hot summer, allowing perfect ripeness. Harvest conditions were ideal, resulting in quality fruit and intense aromatic expression.

    Vinification & Aging

    Vinification combines traditional methods with careful temperature control to preserve the freshness and typicity of the grapes. Aging is partly carried out in concrete tanks, promoting a pure fruit expression while refining the wine's tannic structure.
