The Elegance and Depth of a Red Wine from Terrasses du Larzac

The Estate

Founded in the early 1990s, Mas Cal Demoura is a historic player in the qualitative renewal of the Languedoc. Now run by Isabelle and Vincent Goumard, the estate extends over 17 hectares of vineyards farmed organically and biodynamically. Located in the commune of Jonquières, the estate is dedicated to producing wines that faithfully reflect their terroir, combining the generosity of the Mediterranean climate with a characteristic freshness. Mas Cal Demoura has thus established itself as an essential reference in its region.

The Vineyard

Located in the heart of the Terrasses du Larzac appellation, the vineyard enjoys a privileged geographical position at the foot of the causse. The vines thrive on soils composed of limestone gravel and clay-limestone matrices. This terroir benefits from a Mediterranean climate tempered by cool air currents descending from the plateau, resulting in pronounced diurnal temperature variations. The vineyard is managed with the utmost respect for the environment, with hand-harvesting and naturally low yields.

Vinification and Ageing

The Terre de Jonquières 2024 cuvée is crafted from parcel-by-parcel vinifications using only indigenous yeasts. Maceration periods are long, with precise temperature control for gentle extraction. The wine is then aged for twelve months in demi-muids and foudres, with a limited proportion of new oak, before being finished with four months of maturation in tank. Clarification and stabilisation occur naturally through time and cold.

Grape Varieties

This wine is a blend of Syrah (35%), Grenache (20%), Cinsault (20%), Mourvèdre (15%) and Carignan (10%).
