Wine information:
Domaines Paul Mas offers a "New World" approach to winemaking from 2 distinct winegrowing regions within the Languedoc-Roussillon: Pezenas, north-east of Beziers and Limoux, next to Carcasonne. La Forge wines are made by Domaines Paul Mas from grapes grown at the La Forge vineyards in the Languedoc. Paul Mas' Merlot vines are grown in the Minervois AOC geographical limits (east of Carcassonne) where climatic conditions enable the grapes to achieve the best possible ripeness. A bright, intense deep purple with ruby tints. An upfront nose of blackcurrants, raspberries, plums, cocoa and spicy vanilla and tobacco aromas. A full-bodied rich wine with smooth tannins, ripe fruit flavours on the middle palate and vanilla toasted oak on the long finish. Best served with quail, meat pies, pastrami, grilled steak, spare ribs, pheasant or lamb stew.
