Paul Mas Prima Perla Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs

A wine with a special story; a wonderful tribute to the very first sparkling wines. Sparkling wines, from Cava to Champagne, are now an integral part of the wine world. However, it all began in the south of France, in Languedoc-Roussillon, near the village of Limoux. In 1531, the very first sparkling wine was discovered and produced at the Abbey of Saint Hilaire. It was called "Prima Perla." A name that is still inextricably linked to sparkling wines. That's why Paul Mas also gave this name to the Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs.

Since the discovery of sparkling wines in 1531, we can safely say that sparkling wine is almost 500 years old. Much has changed since then, but the production method has remained virtually unchanged. Sure, some things have been modernized, but the principle remains the same. With this vision in mind, the winemakers at Paul Mas set to work. Here, they certainly understand tradition with a modern twist. This Paul Mas Prima Perla Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs also uses a classic grape: the Chardonnay. The location of the vineyards, with their rich clay and limestone soil, combined with the authentic second fermentation, results in a superb, incomparable sparkling wine.
