L’Etincelle est un blanc d’assemblage composé principalement de Chenin, qui lui confère son exceptionnelle fraîcheur pour un vin méridional. Beaucoup de race et d’intensité grâce aux petits rendements qui subliment l’expression minérale du terroir de cailloutis calcaires. Estival par nature !

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Vin noté (guide 2016) 14/20 (Millésime 2014) (Bon vin)
Rated domain (guide 2025) 4*Stars (High-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.

Vin noté (guide 2016) 15/20 (Millésime 2014) (Bon vin)
Rated domain (guide 2025) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning connoisseurs.)
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.
