Paul Mas is a 4^th generation family-owned winery founded in 1892 in Pézenas (Languedoc), and the family has been expanding their vineyard holdings ever since.  The Marsanne grapes grow on the limestone and clay soils of Limoux and Carcassonne (Roussillon), with some grapes from the warmer area of Hérault (Languedoc).  While only some of their Marsanne vineyards are certified organic, they practice organic viticulture in all their property.  Aged in stainless steel.  The attack is ripe and rich, with notes of yellow peach, nectarine and lime.  It has a hard-edge mineral finish, making it crisp and refreshing for a cool fall evening.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
This crisp white pairs perfectly with chicken and mushrooms in cream sauce; freshly rolled sushi; wood fire grilled pork tenderloin with creamed spinach; citrusy ceviche; chicken pot pie; jumbo grilled shrimp with homemade mayonnaise, fresh basil, and lemon; roast pork with apples and spices; pulled chicken BBQ with Alabama white sauce and creamy macaroni; creamy broccoli and cheddar soup; garlic rubbed crostini with caramelized onions and smoky bacon; mussels meunier; pan-seared scallops tossed with garlic and white wine; and lobster drizzled with butter sauce. This versatile white is also heavenly with seasonal raw vegetables with herbed cream cheese dip, Feta, goat cheese, smoked Gouda, Mahon and Monterey Jack cheese.
