About this winery
The story begins at Château Paul Mas in Conas hamlet, in the splendid town of Pézenas, the city of famous playwright Molière.

Product notes
Le Berceau, aged using the traditional method, is produced in an area with no appellation. Winemaking, ageing and disgorging are the same methods used for our high-end sparkling wines.
Production notes
The harvested grapes are cooled down to 10ºC at the winery, followed by pneumatic pressing. Only the heart of the cuvée is kept. Cold settling at 8ºC. Fermentation between 14-16ºC. Partial malolactic fermentation for the Chardonnay. The wine is bottled in January and begins its second fermentation. Ageing 9 months minimum. Racking and disgorging throughout the ageing process.
Tasting notes
Salmon pink colour. Fine, persistent bubbles. Strawberry aromas, with hints of brioche. Rich palate, fruity, lively texture with good persistence. Ideal as an aperitif, but also with sushi, raw oysters, fresh goat cheese, peach, and red fruit tarts..
