Tasting Notes
With fine, long-lasting bubbles, this sparkling wine reveals aromas of white-fleshed fruits finishing with hints of brioche, and a harmonious, fresh palate accented by subtle elegance.
Cultivation
Simple Guyot
Vinification
Grape bunches were whole-pressed using a pneumatic press. First fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks at 18°C, followed by second fermentation in bottle.
Aging
20% of the wine was aged for 6 months in barrels; the rest aged in temperature-controlled tanks. Bottles spent 24 months on laths in an air-conditioned cellar, then were disgorged and finished with “liqueur d’expédition” 3 months before release.
Paul Mas is a family-owned estate that has grown in just 20 years from a local winery into one of the largest privately-owned wine companies in France outside Champagne, distributing over 22 million bottles across more than 70 countries. The estate honors the legacy of Raymond Mas, Jean-Claude Mas’ grandfather, whose traditional, chemical-free farming and careful winemaking inspired the family’s approach. Today, the estate is owned by Jean-Claude Mas, and its wines exhibit a signature style of ripe fruit, balanced tannins, subtle oak, and harmonious consistency. From Arrogant Frog to La Forge Estate and Paul Mas Reserve, the winery combines respect for the vineyard with mindful innovation, including non-added sulfite wines, sustainable certifications, and creative packaging, producing wines that reflect both the exceptional Languedoc terroir and the family’s dedication to quality and tradition.
