Domaine de Montcalmès blanc sec 2022 signed Frédéric Pourtalié

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2026 (Sept 2025): Favorite and 93/100. This is a nourishing and bright 2022 white that opens up in the glass. Initially, a woody note, followed by a complex palate with commendable acidity in this vintage, revealing root aromas and grapefruit zest. A white that ranks among the best of Larzac.
