Description

Domaine de Montahuc · AOP Minervois

A rosé of Syrah (60%) and Grenache Noir (40%) from vines over twenty-five years old, growing at 280 to 300 metres. The soil is very stony and shallow, which gives the wine its minerality and freshness. Hand-harvested. Fermented at very low temperature and given a short ageing in stainless steel tank.

The winery

Domaine de Montahuc

Estate in Saint-Jean-de-Minervois (Hérault), at the top of Montahuc, at 640 metres, on thin, very stony limestone soils. Michel Poudou and his Spanish partners Julián López Olaso and María José Peidró Montaner bought it in 2005: a farmhouse and 7 hectares of vines, farmed organically since 1990. Known at first for its Muscat de Saint-Jean-de-Minervois, it now also makes dry wines. Since 2022, Chozas Carrascal has been its sole owner.
