✨ Technical Specifications
Named 'Aurore' after the beautiful Languedoc dawn, this vibrant rosé captures the essence of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Crafted by Jean-Claude Mas, it represents the 'Luxe Rural' philosophy—bringing affordable luxury and Southern French warmth to the glass. The grapes, sourced from clay-limestone soils in the Hérault Valley, are harvested during the cool night hours to preserve their bright, primary fruit characters. Using a blend of classic Southern French varieties, the wine undergoes a short skin contact followed by gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. The result is a delightfully fresh, salmon-pink rosé that sings of red berries, gentle spices, and the sun-drenched garrigue of the Pays d'Oc.
🍾 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.
