MAS CARLOT
We might as well prune the grass under the feet of those who consider wine as an environment reserved for men: if the wife of Cyril Marès, who looks after the Mas des Bressades in Manduel, holds the reins of Mas Carlot, she owes it only to herself. Nathalie Blanc-Marès obtained all the necessary diplomas and engaged all the necessary passion before knowing her husband. The result: wines with their own character, their own talents, including a Clairette that gives a new lease of life to France's oldest wine appellation, that of Bellegarde, based on 60-year-old vines. Roussanne, marsanne and viognier dominate the whites Costières de Nîmes, syrah and grenache for the reds, a little mourvèdre as a bonus for the rosé, at more than fair prices for the beverages on offer. Crushed red fruits or exotic fruits on the nose. Careful tannins, roundness and minerality carry the palate away, for a successful journey through the Costières. Nathalie has thus relaunched a family property, which has become, it is said again and again, a reference in the field of Clairette.
