Domaine de Montcalmès
Frédéric Pourtalié
Niet zomaar een domein, maar één van de beste van de streek en vaak in één adem genoemd met Domaine de la Grange des Pères, Mas Daumas de Gassac en Mas Jullièn. De wijnen zijn echte bewaarwijnen en zullen uw kelder sieren. De familie Pourtalié heeft al vele jaren hun bezit in de Hérault als zoon Fréderic in 1998 zijn vader aanspoort om te stoppen met de lokale cave cooperative. Hij was geïnspireerd door de wijnmakers om hen heen en vooral na zijn stages bij Laurent Vaillé (Domaine de la Grange des Pères), Alain Graillot (Hermitage) en de familie Alary (L’Oratoire St. Martin) was hij overtuigd van het potentieel van de familiewijngaarden. Deze zijn gelegen in Puéchabon en Aniane en zodoende in de appellatie Terrasses du Larzac. Alle wijngaarden worden biologisch bewerkt en zijn verschillend in bodem. In Puchéabon staat syrah en grenache aangeplant op een bodem rijk aan kalkgesteente. Frédéric noemt deze bodem éboulis de calcaire. In Aniane staat mourvèdre aangeplant op een bodem met “galets roules”, de grote kiezels die wij ook zien in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Website: www.domainedemontcalmes.fr
Frédéric Pourtalié
Toen hij na zijn stages in 1998 terugkeerde op het familiedomein besloot hij direct alles zelf te gaan vinifiëren en niet langer de druiven te verkopen aan de cave coöperative. Al snel kwam zijn zus Muriel ook op het domein en vanaf de vroegste jaren ging hij mee met zijn bekende buren als de familie Guilbert van Mas Daumas de Gassac en Laurent Vaillé van Domaine de la Grange des Pères. Hij vinifeert als Laurent op een stijl die bijna Bourgondisch, heel verfijnd en elegant.

Lots of dark and red fruit on the nose, blackcurrant,
cherry, blackberry. Nice power with a slight tannic presence and a hint of mint
which brings a nice freshness.
Perfect to serve with grilled or roasted meats.

What is striking about this wine is its enormous elegance. Floral notes on the nose, but also cassis, herbs and garrigue. The taste is characterised by similar aromas and remarkably elegant tannins.

French Wines
Many famous and very special wines are made in France. It is perhaps the wine country with the greatest wines and grapes. From the north east to the border with Spain, wines are made from many different grape varieties. Wine is part of the country's culture and a meal without wine is unthinkable here. French wine regions such as Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhône, Loire, Alsace, Jura and Languedoc are just a few of the unique wine regions that can be found in the country.
French red wine
The main grapes for red wine in France are, without wanting to discredit any other grape variety: pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah. Pinot noir is the grape variety of Burgundy and great French wines such as Volnay, Pommard, Corton and Clos de Vougeot are made from this grape variety. Cabernet sauvignon and merlot are mainly planted in Bordeaux, the region of Saint-Emilion and Margaux. Finally, Syrah is the basis for the great wines from the northern Rhône, such as the famous wines Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage.
French White Wine
White wines are of course made throughout the country, but the most important areas for white wine are Loire, Burgundy and Alsace. Three wine regions located further north in France. Here, French wine is made from well-known grape varieties such as chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and riesling, but also from lesser-known varieties such as aligoté, chasselas, gewurztraminer and melon de bourgogne. Chardonnay is the basis for the white wines from Burgundy and in the Loire there are fine examples of the sauvignon grape from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, for example.
French sparkling wines
In addition to the still wines, France is of course known for the sparkling wines that are made in Champagne, of course, but also in the Loire, Jura, Alsace and Burgundy. In Champagne, chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier form the basis of sparkling wines made with the classic second fermentation in the bottle. We offer you several sparkling wines from France, most of which are certified organic and are perfect as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to various dishes.
