ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Domaine des Pourthié is an estate covering 60 hectares, situated near Agde, a few kilometres from the Mediterranean Sea. It is now in the hands of the fourth generation of the Pourthié family, who cultivate the HVE Level 3 certified vines sustainably. The vineyards are located on a ridge formed during the Ice Age, where the soils are gravelly clay and limestone. The Mediterranean warmth and sea breezes combined with the terroir help to ripen the grapes harmoniously and maximise their aromas. The winery has recently been updated with modern equipment, leading to more sophisticated methods of vinification. These are classically styled Languedoc wines.
THE VINTAGE:
In most of the Languedoc, the 2023 growing season started well, with an average winter, dry in some places but sufficient rainfall in others and no damaging frosts. Rainfall in May and June required vigilance in the vineyards amid disease pressure in the humid climate. Much of the region experienced extreme drought during the summer months, and a four-day heatwave starting on 20th August brought temperatures of 43°C and resulted in an early harvest.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
Domaine des Pourthié practices sustainable agriculture and is in conversion to HVE Level 3, which officially recognises the environmental performance of winegrowers, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertiliser use and water resource management. Situated in the Pays d’Oc, the climate is warm, dry and Mediterranean, with the summer days mitigated by cooling breezes from the Mediterranean Sea. The vines are traditionally trellised and are planted with an eastern orientation. The grapes are grown in gravelly clay-limestone soils, which were formed during the Ice Age, and are dispersed with deposits from the ancient Hérault riverbed.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes were macerated on the skins, extracting flavour, aromas and fine tannins. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruity varietal characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon and lasted for two weeks.
OUR TASTING NOTE:
A deeply coloured Cabernet Sauvignon with pronounced aromas of blackcurrant, black cherries and subtle notes of coffee. Smooth and velvety, the tannins are beautifully integrated and envelop the spicy fruit through to a deliciously smoky finish.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Cabernet Sauvignon 100%.
