Montirius
Domaine Montirius
is one of the stars of the appellation, and deservedly so, judged by the
care afforded to its wines by Christine and Eric Saurel.
They represent the fifth generation to work this 57 hectare domaine in the
heart of Vacqueyras and their
property, now farmed entirely by biodynamic principles.
Labour-intensive and rigorous, low yielding old vines on optimal soil provide the perfect raw materials, and a careful three week maceration allows the full expression of the terroir. Their patient methodology is rewarded with superb expressions of terroir, described by Christine as `vins lumineux'. Here you can find their village Vacqueyras, as well as the stunningly opulent Clos Montirius.
The Saurels are a charming and gentle couple; their wine, however, is powerful and regal. One of the rare examples where the wine’s personality does not reflect that of those who make it!

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. This is a silky smooth wine.

A wine of great purity and focus, with red fruits, aniseed and, appropriately enough, hints of the garrigue. The tannins are very fine and the wine is rounded and charming, its ripeness finely tempered and nicely managed. Drink 2010-2015 . | ||||

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. Rich, round fruit with hints of autumn berries and dark chocolate make this a mouth-filling and rewarding wine. The tannins are well enveloped by the sheer volume of fruit but purity is key here, as it is across the whole Montirius range. Drink 2012-2017. | ||||
