Domaine Montrose is located in the South of France in the Languedoc, a few kilometers from Pézenas and the Mediterranean Sea. Domaine Montrose and its surroundings have been inhabited for millennia. During Antiquity, it was likely a Roman villa. “The Valros Tower” next to the vineyard was a Carolingian necropolis and then a stronghold in the Middle Ages. Ancient underground tanks beneath the wine cellar allude to wine production happening here since the 16th century. The estate has belonged to the Coste family for the last nine generations. The vineyard around the winery is planted on a range of rather unique terroirs.
Domaine Montrose uses lightweight glass and other innovative, practical and environmentally formats like cans and bag-in-box to considerably reduce their carbon footprint.
Tasting Notes
A lovely bouquet of ripe red berries and citrusy notes on the nose. There is a supple and almost round mouthfilling texture that is highlighted by bright fresh acidity. An elegant dry rose that can be enjoyed on its own and will certainly pair well with diverse preparations of seafood, chicken and salads.
Method
A blend of 65% Grenache, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah. Each varietal is vinified separately to preserve its terroir expression and highlight certain varietal qualities. The grapes are destemmed; some are followed by a short maceration, others directly pressed. The musts are cold clarified before undergoing a fermentation at 15°C and 18°C. The individual wines are then assembled to create a harmonious final product and then aged in stainless steel and some oak.
