Paul Mas, Reserve Brut Cremant de Limoux NV

Vinous Reverie Notes
Paul Mas Reserve is located between Pezenas and Montpellier, 10 km from the Mediterranean. The vineyards cover 162 hectares across the Languedoc, Languedoc Pezenas, Gres de Montpellier and Pays d’Oc appellations. These sites also provide the fruit for the Chateau Paul Mas line of wines. The vines are grown in an exceptional setting, surrounded by olive trees, pine forests, oak trees, and orchards–they enjoy exposure from the north, south, and west, and are cooled by the Mistral and Tramontane winds. The grapes are heavily influenced by the gravelly clay and limestone soils on the hillsides of the Herault valley, and the chalky, fossil-rich soils on the hills of the Thau marshes. The vines are grown using sustainable viticulture practices, with portions of the vineyards being organic or certified Terra Vitis. Tasting Notes: Limpid yellow with consistent bubbles. The nose has intense and refined aromas of honey and flowers with layered citrus. On the palate it is a very good balance of fruit and acidity with a lengthy finish. It is a great wine as an aperitif or accompaniment with a meal.
