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.
🍾 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.
