Paul Mas Grande Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemaker Paul Mas on the winery

“We are Domaines Paul Mas, based in the Languedoc in southern France. Since Jean-Claude Mas took the helm in 2000, we have combined our family’s winemaking heritage with a modern approach to quality and expression. Our family’s history in winegrowing dates back to 1892, when our ancestors purchased their first vineyard. We work with a wide range of terroirs and grape varieties, seeking the right balance of ripe fruit, structure and elegance in each wine. Our aim is to showcase the character and quality that make the Languedoc such a distinctive wine region.”

And on Languedoc, France

“Our Grande Réserve Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Languedoc, where the Mediterranean climate encourages ripe grapes and expressive fruit. We make this wine from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from carefully selected vineyards. After fermentation, the wine spends around ten months ageing in oak barrels, approximately 70% American oak and 30% French oak. This maturation adds depth and spice while allowing the fruit to remain at the forefront. On the nose, we find ripe blackcurrants and dark fruit, complemented by vanilla and spices, with a subtle earthy note. The palate is full and smooth, with ripe tannins and a long finish.”
