Tasting Notes
Intense deep purple color with garnet red tints. Complex and perfumed aromas of violet, cocoa, roasted coffee beans, and blackberries. A well structured and fullbodied wine, it has rich tannins and a strong fruity character.
Cultivation
The soil for this 7.4 acre plot consists of limestone, clay, gravel, and stones. The vines are between 19 and 36 years old.
Vinification
Grape destemming, separate vinification for each grape varietal. Fermentation lasts for 7 days under controlled temperature. A traditional 21-day-maceration with regular pumping over then follows. 30% of the blend undergoes malolactic fermentation in oak barrels.
Aging
After aging for 14 months in oak barrels, this blend is bottled unrefined and unfiltered in order to preserve its velvety and dense structure.
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.
