Description
Jean Claude Mas Mon Gewurztraminer 2023 is an aromatic and expressive white wine that showcases the vibrant character of this classic grape variety. Brilliant gold in colour with subtle green highlights, it immediately captivates with an intensely perfumed nose of rose petals, intertwined with notes of citrus and ripe stone fruits. On the palate, the wine is fresh, smooth, and beautifully balanced, offering a long-lasting and gently rounded mouthfeel. Approachable yet characterful, it is a versatile choice for both casual enjoyment and food pairing, particularly for those who appreciate fragrant, fruit-driven wines.
History and Winemaking
Crafted under the direction of Jean Claude Mas, a winemaker renowned for blending traditional French winemaking with a modern, innovative approach, this wine reflects over a century of family vineyard heritage. Produced in the IGP Pays d’Oc region in the south of France, the wine benefits from a warm Mediterranean climate that enhances the aromatic intensity and ripeness of the Gewurztraminer grape.
The winemaking process focuses on preserving purity and expression. After destemming, the grapes undergo gentle pneumatic pressing under inert gas, using only the highest quality first presses. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 16°C over approximately 15 days, ensuring the retention of delicate aromas. The wine is then aged on its lees for three months in stainless steel tanks, adding texture, depth, and complexity while maintaining freshness.
Tasting Notes
Bright gold with green reflections. The nose is aromatic and complex, dominated by floral notes of rose petals, alongside citrus and stone fruit nuances. The palate is fresh and smooth, with a lingering, elegant finish.
Pairings
This Gewurztraminer pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. It complements spicy cuisine such as lamb curry, as well as fragrant Asian dishes. It also works well with fish, lightly spiced foods, and soft, creamy cheeses. Equally enjoyable on its own as an aromatic aperitif.
