Jean Clause Mas Vinus Malbec 2021 Languedoc-Roussillon

Cépages: 90% Malbec - 10% Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes: The color on this wine is deep ruby, almost purple. It screams Malbec on the nose with notes of black plum, currant, and cherry giving way to a hint of clove and nutmeg. Vibrant acidity and well integrated tannins give this a balanced and plush mouthfeel as the fruit carries through the mid palate on to the long and fruit filled finish.

From The Winery: Between the Corbières and Minervois, 12 miles from Carcassonne and 25 from the Mediterranean, lies the Ferrandière Estate. It dwells on the site of ancient wetlands amidst the hills and mountains of the Languedoc, cut off from the sea during the uplift that raised the Pyrenees. This brackish lake, with its unpleasant and unhealthy climate, was drained under Louis XIV and the end of the 17th century, and the land was steadily reclaimed and planted during the French Second Empire. The Domaine de la Ferrandière was owned and farmed by the Gau family for more than 100 years until they sold the estate to Jean-Claude Mas of Domaines Paul Mas in 2013.
