✨ Technical Specifications
Prima Perla, which translates to 'First Pearl', is a sparkling Rosé crafted by Domaines Paul Mas, paying homage to the Languedoc's historic sparkling wine heritage—specifically Limoux, where sparkling wine production predates Champagne. This cuvée is crafted using the traditional method, where secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle. Sourced from clay-limestone soils in cooler, high-altitude vineyard sites, the grapes retain their essential, vibrant acidity. The wine undergoes aging on its lees to develop a delicate complexity, resulting in a refined sparkling rosé characterized by its fine, persistent bubbles, bright red berry notes, and elegant, creamy texture.
🍾 About the Producer
Rooted in a viticultural heritage dating back to 1892, Domaines Paul Mas in its modern form was established in 2000 by visionary winemaker Jean-Claude Mas near Pézenas in the Languedoc region of southern France. Driven by the philosophy of 'Luxe Rural'—creating accessible, everyday luxury wines—the estate seamlessly marries centuries-old French tradition with dynamic, New World-inspired winemaking techniques. Across an expansive collection of distinct terroirs spanning the Languedoc, Roussillon, and Mediterranean coastline, the domaine practices meticulous and sustainable viticulture. Domaines Paul Mas is widely celebrated for its expressive single-varietal bottlings, such as Marsanne and Syrah under the Les Tannes label, charming regional blends like Claude Val, and refined appellation wines from Pézenas.
