I've been disappointed by many a red from Cotes de Provence in the past. Too many are either unbearably rustic or have on overtly jammy nature, likely the result of the over-use of carbonic maceration. La Mascaronne surprises for its harmonious approach. Whilst the fruit is generous and exuberant, there's a seriousness and attention to structure that many lack. Redcurrant, brambles and Garrigue herbs run throughout the bouquet and palate. Supple tannins and an elegant overall balance make this a great all-rounder.
La Mascaronne’s terroir is ideal for cultivating grapes to produce red wine. Part of the estate’s legacy, the grapevines that produce the grapes used to craft Château La Mascaronne Rouge are planted on the vineyard’s ideally oriented higher elevations. Syrah grapes make up the lion’s share of the blend, alongside a smaller amount of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Grapes are selected according to stringent criteria in the vineyard and the cellar, and only the best berries are used in the estate’s wines. In the cellars, a portion of red wine is aged for one year in French oak barrels. Intense and complex, with excellent structure, Château La Mascaronne Rouge is most enjoyable five to ten years after harvest.
