Tasting Notes
Deep lemon color with a pale rim. The nose is intense and complex with aromas of tropical fruits (ripe mango, melon, pineapple) combined with fresh baked bread and vanilla. This powerful white is rich and creamy in texture with a lingering finish.
Cultivation
The Belluguette vineyard is predominantly limestone soil with gravel. Vines range between 9 and 21 years old.
Vinification
Grape destemming, separate vinification for each grape variety. Racking at 10°C. The Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne are first fermented in stainless still vats and then in new barrels. The Vermentino and Grenache are vinified in stainless steel. Fermentation lasts for 20 days at 16°C.
Aging
The different varietals age in different barrels or vats until the final blend in March. The barrels are 40% American oak and 60% French oak.
Paul Mas wines are the result of a symbiotic relationship between an extraordinary region for producing wines, passion for the vineyard, respect for the grapes during vinification, and great blending and aging knowledge.
Paul Mas 1892 wine is a tribute to Raymond Mas, Jean-Claude’s grandfather. It commemorates his way of farming the vineyard, without using any chemical products, as well as his traditional way of making wine, respecting the fruit of the vineyard. His hard work and appreciation of the artful techniques enabled him to create his wines.
