Embodying the playful, sun-drenched spirit of the Languedoc, Côté Mas Frisante is a delightfully vibrant, semi-sparkling white wine crafted by Jean-Claude Mas. Designed to capture the essence of 'Luxe Rural'—the art of country chic—this cuvée is produced using a gentle secondary fermentation to capture delicate, dancing bubbles. The wine reflects the warm Mediterranean climate of the Hérault valley, where sea breezes cool the vineyards and preserve the essential acidity of the grapes. Historically, semi-sparkling wines of this style were the refreshing reward of local vineyard workers at the end of a long, hot harvest day. Today, it stands as an approachable, aromatic celebration of Southern French joie de vivre.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1892 with roots at Château de Conas, Domaines Paul Mas was revitalized in 2000 by Jean-Claude Mas, who championed the concept of 'Luxe Rural' to showcase the premium potential of the Languedoc region. Based in Pézenas, France, the family-owned estate spans multiple vineyards across the Hérault valley, practicing sustainable and organic viticulture certified by Terra Vitis. The winery is celebrated for its expressive, Mediterranean-influenced wines, seamlessly blending traditional Southern French varieties like Marsanne, Grenache, and Syrah with international grapes. From the vibrant, everyday Claude Val and Les Tannes ranges to refined single-estate cuvées, Paul Mas delivers accessible elegance that captures the warmth and diverse terroir of the Pays d'Oc.
