Domaine l'Hortus Pic Saint Loup 'Grande Cuvee' 2019

Mostly Grenache with a good slug of Mouvedre & Syrah

Located in a valley between the two dazzling limestone cliffs of Pic Saint Loup and Montagne de l?Hortus, this almost-40-year-old vineyard produces highly drinkable wines indicative of the finesse and personality that forms them.

The domain is a 24-kilometre drive north of Montpellier, located among the cooler plots of the Pic Saint Loup AOC?which was granted appellation classification in February 2017, and is a sub-zone of the Languedoc AOC.

Domaine de L?Hortus was once the only estate in the valley. But this untouched terroir has gained a handful of new producers in recent years, who have recognised the potential of the region.
