Château Lauriga Le Gris IGP - Domaine Paul Mas

A delicate salmon-colored glow, fine coppery reflections and crystalline brilliance shape the first impression of Château Lauriga Le Gris IGP - Domaine Paul Mas. Already in the glass, an elegant tension arises between the delicate color and youthful freshness, which immediately awakens the desire for the first sip.

On the nose, an intense, clear aroma of red berries and citrus fruits unfolds. Juicy raspberries, red currants and a hint of ripe blackberries combine with zesty grapefruit. Subtle floral nuances and a fine mineral hint lend additional depth to the bouquet.

On the palate, the wine appears dry, precise and silky. The juicy fruit continues, supported by a lively yet harmoniously integrated acidity. The texture feels soft and polished, the body presents itself as medium-weight and elegant. The finish is long and fruit-driven, with a refreshing citrus accent that makes every further taste appear enticing.

In terms of style, this rosé appears clear, straightforward and modern, yet remains firmly rooted in Old World tradition. The structure impresses with a balanced interplay of freshness, fruit and finesse. Tannins are only very gently present and support the silky texture without pushing themselves into the foreground.

The base of this wine is Grenache Gris, also known in Spain as Garnacha Rioja. This light variant of the Grenache grape gives the wine its finely spicy berry fruit, elegant structure and slightly Mediterranean character. Cultivation in the historic wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon, specifically in the Côtes Catalanes, lends the wine its southern French charisma with clear, sun-kissed aromatics.

Production of Château Lauriga Le Gris IGP - Domaine Paul Mas

The grapes for Château Lauriga Le Gris IGP - Domaine Paul Mas come from selected parcels in the Côtes Catalanes in Languedoc-Roussillon. There, Mediterranean climate, abundant sunshine and cooling winds from the sea meet. This combination gives the berries intense aromas, while nighttime cooling provides tension and freshness in the fruit.

The soils of the region are diverse. Calcareous subsoils, slate and pebble components shape the character of the Grenache Gris vines. The vines root deeply, thereby receiving excellent nourishment and producing grapes with dense aromatics and clear structure. The terroir is expressed in the fine minerality and the elegant style of this rosé.

The harvest is carried out with particular attention to perfect ripeness and aromatic concentration. The berries reach the cellar in an extremely gentle condition in order to preserve the fragrant fruit and delicate color. Rapid processing prevents oxidation and maintains the brilliant freshness of the must.

In the cellar, maturation in stainless steel tanks sets clear accents. This style of maturation preserves the pure fruit of the Grenache Gris grapes without any influence of wood notes. Through temperature-controlled fermentation, precise aromas, crystal-clear rosé color and a fine, silky texture emerge. The wine thus develops its youthful, radiant character and at the same time appears extremely balanced.

The style of Domaine Paul Mas has a clear focus on elegance, drinking pleasure and the expression of its origin. Modern cellar technology meets traditional manual work in the vineyard. The result captivates with Mediterranean lightness, precise fruit and fine polish, as Château Lauriga Le Gris IGP - Domaine Paul Mas demonstrates impressively.
