✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
