Domaine Montirius, Valle du Rhone, France
Domaine Montirius is by widespread reputation, one of the “Stars of the Appellation” to emerge from Southern Rhone in recent decades.
The domaine, which spans a family history of 5 generations, possesses an intrinsic difference.
Their whole philosophy and wine making principles is deeply rooted in Bio-dynamic culture, having fully converted to Bio-dynamism since 1996, their 58 hectares of 38 choice parcels from Vacqueyras, Gigondas and Cote Du Rhone. These precious parcels also include some of the oldest vines found in the regions.
“Our philosophy is to orientate our daily work towards the permanent search for perfect balance both in the vines and in the winery, so as to obtain the greatest of wines from the land…”
“No matter what season, we must observe, feel, listen to and taste (sometimes repeatedly in the day) to decide on the right day, the right time or the right action. From spring through to summer, from harvesting through to bottling, fermentation, de-vatting or maturing, each wine imposes its own rhythm.
It is up to us to hear the needs of the wine and to allow it reveal itself so as its tasting is a magic experience to be shared.”
For this complete belief in bio-dynamic sensitivity, which exhibits clear and precise imprints – which you can see and taste – from the cultivation of the vines and fruit, to the wine-making processes, the replacement of oak to concrete vats since 2002, and even the choice of a specially developed natural cork, all speaks testimonies of wines displaying power, elegance, finesse, purity, length and complexity.
Above all, it is said, these wines expressively exhibit the delicate nuances of the terroir, from which they originate from.
