✨ Technical Specifications
Côté Mas Intense Rouge is a vibrant celebration of the Languedoc's sun-drenched art de vivre, crafted to embody the philosophy of 'Luxe Rural'—bringing affordable luxury and rustic elegance to wine lovers worldwide. Sourced from clay-limestone soils across the wind-swept hillsides of the Hérault Valley, this blend benefits from a classic Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers tempered by cooling sea breezes. The wine is vinified with a focus on preserving bright, primary fruit flavors, utilizing temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks rather than heavy oak. This approach highlights the natural, expressive character of the region's traditional grapes, delivering a juicy, medium-bodied red rich with notes of dark berries, plum, and a subtle whisper of wild garrigue herbs.
🍾 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.
