✨ Technical Specifications
Cote Mas L'Esprit du Midi Blanc captures the vibrant, sun-drenched essence of the Languedoc in southern France—literally translating to 'The Spirit of the South.' Crafted by Jean-Claude Mas, this white blend is sourced from clay-limestone soils influenced by Mediterranean breezes. To preserve its bright, aromatic profile and crisp acidity, the grapes undergo cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with no oak aging. This approach highlights the pure, expressive fruit character of traditional Languedoc varieties, offering a refreshing glimpse into the region's relaxed 'Luxe Rural' lifestyle.
🍾 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.
