Domaine du Pourra Côtes du Rhône Villages Séguret Mont Bayon 2019/18/17/11/04

Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault

Organic grower. A single growing area (“Mont Bayon”) of 9 hectares is located at 440 metres in the Dentelles de Montmirail above the village. This cooler micro-climate brings extra freshness to this wine. A hot, dry poor soil of broken limestone brings a lovely tannic structure and minerality to the wine. A terroir and thus a wine that is completely different to the majority of the appellation (located on more fertile soils below the village).

With a terroir that is adjacent and thus similar to the cru of Gigondas, this wine is far, far superior to your regular Côtes du Rhône Villages wine. Complex, perfumed nose of sweet fruits. Medium-bodied on the palate with lovely black and red fruits and fine tannins. Balanced acidity with lovely spicy notes intermingled with great earthy notes. Lovely minerals on the finish. This is a wine that benefits from age and can be drunk up to 20 years in some vintages. A unique wine. Pure terroir.

Producer profile

Jean-Christian Mayordome purchased the domaine in 1998. The domaine vineyards – located between 300 and 480 m of altitude – include 11 ha (27 acres) in the cru of Gigondas, and 15ha in Côtes du Rhône Villages Séguret. Very rocky soils and an old average of vines combines to produce very low yields. The Gigondas vineyards are high in limestone content, with clay and sand. The Séguret vineyards are heavy in limestone which is not typical of the appellation, producing much more robust and age-worthy wines than would normally be expected. As well as running a winery, Jean-Christian works a doctor, specialising homeopathy. This natural approach is reflected in the wines with organic practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar. With a view to producing even more natural wines, the domaine adopted biodynamic practices in the vineyard and was certified Biodynamic in 2019.
