Domaine La P\u00e8ira en Damais\u00e8la : AOC Terrasses du Larzac<\/span><\/h2>\n

Introducing Domaine La P\u00e8ira<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"BuyThe estate La P\u00e8ira en Damais\u00e8la<\/strong><\/a>located in the Languedoc-Roussillon<\/a>, <\/strong>began its adventure only in 2004. This superb estate lies at the heart of the wild Terrasses du Larzac landscape. An estate that has only recently come into being, and yet, in such a short space of time, it has been a beacon for the appellation in recent years. It has made a major contribution to changing the landscape, the nature and the horizon of the appellation. Their secret? The domaine's winemakers have \"quite simply\" (in a manner of speaking) set the bar very high, whether in terms of production quality, an unspeakable demand, sometimes pointed out as a requirement above that of Bordeaux's premier crus class\u00e9s or Burgundy's grands crus. The quest for excellence is more than testing!<\/span><\/p>\n

Property of Robert Dougan<\/em> and Karine Ashton<\/em>The vineyard covers 11.4 hectares. \"\u00a0Notable terroirs\/places-dits include \"Bois de Pauliau\", \"Belle Fiolle\" (Bellefeuille) and \"Les Pointes\". Very clayey soil with stony deposits. A subsoil of alluvium dating from the Pliocene age. The deposits come from the north, from the limestone mountains of the Jurassic period, some 150 million years old. Gravel (a mixture of sand, silt and clay) is deposited in stream beds and in what are known as alluvial fans.<\/em>\u00a0\"In terms of grape varieties, Domaine La P\u00e8ira en Damais\u00e8la produces Syrah, Grenache, Mourv\u00e8dre, Cinsault, Carignan, Viogner, Roussanne, Marsanne and Clairette blanche. In terms of yield, the estate produces around 300 cases of grand vin and 500 cases of La Flors de la P\u00e8ira.\u00a0Find out more on the domaine's website<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Terrasses du Larzac appellation<\/span><\/h3>\n

The appellation Terrasses du Larzac<\/strong> is located in the northern part of the H\u00e9rault department. It includes the old villages of Montpeyroux and St Saturnin. The weather here is exceptional, with very hot, very long summers! Winters are harsher than the regional average, but that's not a problem thanks to the extra-fast arrival of spring, with a continuity of \"fine weather\" in autumn. One of the special features of the Terrasses du Larzac is the series of hills that form a natural boundary. These rise to over 800 meters. The terroirs included in the appellation are located at heights of between 50 and 300 meters on the Causse hills and old terraces. For the record, it was the Romans who first cultivated vines on the Terrasses du Larzac. The land near Lod\u00e8ve was very attractive, stretching along the Roman Way, a very famous and frequented route in the past, a key element in the distribution and circulation of merchants since it linked Cessero (St. Thib\u00e9ry), to Segodunum (Rodez). In AOC Terrasse du Larzac, the blending of at least two grape varieties is mandatory. Rules apply to grape varieties:<\/span><\/p>\n
