Château Paul Mas Clos des Mûres
2019
The story begins at Château Paul Mas in Conas hamlet, in the splendid town of Pézenas, the city of famous playwright Molière. The estates then expanded to Montagnac, with Nicole vineyard and Mas des Tannes. Jean-Claude Mas’s great-grandfather, Auguste Mas, bought the first family vineyard in 1892, when he aquired 9 ha (22 acres) of vines in the Mas de Bicq, near the village of St Pons de Mauschiens. In 1934, Raymond Mas brings the family vineyard to a surface of 15 ha in Domaine Montredon...

Destemming and separate winemaking for each grape. Fermentation at controlled temperature (26-28°C max) for 8 to 10 days with selected yeasts. Postfermentation maceration for 2 to 3 weeks. 20% of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrel. The remaining 80% are put into barrels after malolactic fermentation. Ageing for 9 months in French and American oak barrels. 30 % of new oak barrels, 35 % of 1-year old oak barrels, 35 % of 2 years old oak barrels.
Deep red colour purple, with amethyst hints. Complex, intense nose of blackberry, cumin, dried thyme, dark chocolate, and tobacco leaves. Full-bodied palate, well-balanced and fruity, silky, dense, fleshy wine with fresh notes, fruit tarts, apples, cedar, and a mineral finish nuanced by crisp tannins. Serve with grilled red meat, duck breast, osso bucco or Basque-style chicken.
This is very perfumed on the nose with flowers and sweet berries. Medium body, integrated tannins and a fruity finish. Shows promise. A blend of mourvedre, grenache and syrah. Better in 2021.
