Mas Cal Demoura - IGP Saint-Guilhem le désert L'Étincelle blanc 2024
92/100
RVF
"Precision workmanship for a fresh, flavorful white".
L'Etincelle is a white blend composed mainly of Chenin, giving it exceptional freshness for a southern wine. It has plenty of breed and intensity, thanks to small yields that sublimate the mineral expression of the limestone terroir. Summery by nature! Limited quantities available.

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Rigor and care, intelligence and precision, along with a clear idea of what makes a great wine, have brought the reds of the talented Vincent Goumard to the top. They were exemplary classics that never tended towards austerity. The evolution, without losing any of these qualities, towards a confounding sensuality is the culmination of a cycle, where precision and finesse of tannins dominate. The whites are progressing, with a cuvée l'étincelle that is confoundingly fresh. New in 2020: the entire range will be bottled in Burgundy.

Wine rated (guide 2025) 92/100 (Vintage 2023)
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
In 2004, after a career in consulting, Vincent and Isabelle Goumard took over this beautiful estate founded in the early 1990s by Jean-Pierre Jullien. They had previously visited some twenty estates in Languedoc and Roussillon, but the power of the place, in the heart of the Terrasses du Larzac, won them over. The couple quickly demonstrated the full extent of their talent, with a very fine understanding of their plot of land and geological variations, a respect for plants and a high level of viticultural standards. Over the years, their style has become increasingly refined, with wines that are more and more delicate and complex, with elegant substance and magnificent ageing potential. Mas Cal Demoura is unquestionably one of the region's benchmarks. After an interesting but somewhat sub-par 2021 vintage, the estate produced a superb 2022. The third star is clearly in its sights.
