DomaineDeMontcalmes Rouge Coteaux Du Languedoc
Description: This is yet another domaine on the famous plateau near Aniane, with varying soil types, including friable limestone, and even the classic galets roules of Chateauneuf fame. Fredéric Pourtalie, started his career as a stagiaire with the illustrious Laurent Vaille of Domainede la Grange des Peres. He had inherited 25 hectares from his father, who sold his grapes through the co-operative, and after reflection and some re-planting, he produced a minuscule amount of wine in 1999, 2000 and 2001. From the 2002 vintage he vinified grapes from eight hectares, and he is aiming eventually to have a domaine of between 15 and 18 hectares. The wine is made from between 65% and 70% Syrah as well as a little Grenache and Mourvedre. The parcelles and varietals are vinified separately, and the wine undergoes 24 months elevage in barrique, with the Grenache being transferred back to stainless steel after the first 12 months.
