Paul Mas Reserve Pinot Noir

The owner of Paul Mas Estate is often called the pioneer of Southern France because he's always searching for new varieties. This red Pinot Noir is also a wine from Jean-Claude Mas. He wanted to create a kind of Southern French Burgundy with the same inspiring style. Well, he deserves a gold medal from us, because this is so beautifully made. High on the hills of the Languedoc, the vineyards are filled with Pinot Noir grapes. Thanks to the abundant coolness in the vineyards, the Pinot Noir grape is completely at ease and grows like no other.
