About Domaine de Montcalmès Wines
The Domaine de Montcalmès is located 30 km northwest of Montpellier.
It takes its name from the hamlet of Montcalmès located on the plateau of the same name which overlooks the Hérault valley. Part of our paternal family comes from this hamlet. It is now abandoned.
Originally, the family farm had 30 hectares of vines entirely vinified in cooperative cellars. In 1998, Frédéric Pourtalié and his father Jean-Marie decided to create a private cellar. The first red vinification took place in 1999, only 5000 bottles were produced then.
We now produce around 50,000 bottles per year. Our property extends over 22 ha in the communes of Puéchabon, Aniane, St Jean de Fos and St Saturnin de Lucian (communes all part of the Terrasses du Larzac appellation).
