Paul Mas Viognier 2006
l'Hérault, Vin de Pays d'Oc, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceJean Claude Mas blends viognier fruit from cool and warm sites using young and old vines and relatively low yields at 52hl/ha. Only 15 per cent of the wine is barrel fermented in new oak the remaining 85 per cent is aged only in stainless steel tanks. Look for a bright, floral nose that mixes nectarines and dried fruits and with honey/lees aromas. Much like the previous edition it has a wealth of peachy apricot, ginger fruit with a mineral, honey, butter finish. A versatile food wine, not to mention a fabulous bargain. Buy it by the case. Farming is performed to maximize the respect and preservation of the environment and nature as much as possible. They call it "agriculture raisonnée".Tasted: 06 November 2007Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $13.99 | 750ml | speculative listing - Charton-Hobbs |
