"An interesting offering is Mas Carlot’s blend of 40% Marsanne and 60% Roussanne, the 2006 VdP Marsanne/Roussanne. This crisp white exhibits notes of rose petals and tropical fruits, excellent texture and ripeness, and fresh acids. It should drink well for 1-2 years. This excellent estate in the Costieres de Nimes continues to turn out some superb bargain-priced wines that consumers should seek out for relief from increasingly higher prices as well as the weak dollar." (WA)

Winery Notes:
Constructed around the seventeenth century, this old Provençal Mas was brought back to life by the Blanc family, who purchased the estate in the Sixties. Located on the western edge of the Rhône River, in the village of Bellegarde, southeast of the city of Nîmes, the vineyards are in the heart of the appellation’s cailloux-based soil. In the old Provençal dialect, “Mas” means farm, and Nathalie Blanc-Marès is beautifully managing this 75 hectares farm with the aid of her husband Cyril Marès, owner of the neighboring property Mas des Bressades (yes, she married the boy-next-door). They are a great Provençal family - young and energetic with great vision and talent. The vineyards were planted in the 1950’s and 1960’s to the current varietals. The vines are trained using a system called Cordon de Royat, which helps maintain lower fruit production. Mas Carlot limits yields to around 45hl/ha, which is one-third below what the appellation allows. Nathalie likes to wait during harvest - picking late to obtain the maximum maturity for each grape varietal. Mas Carlot has 20 hectares planted to white varietals. The Marsanne-Roussanne is made of 70% Marsanne from 25 year-old vines and 30% Roussanne. The wine is aged sur lie in tank after fermentation. It is bright on the palate with crisp, juicy apple and pear skin flavors.
