✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched hills of Pézenas in the Languedoc, this cuvée pays homage to a region steeped in history and artistic heritage, once the home of the famed French playwright Molière. The terroir of Pézenas is a remarkable geological mosaic, combining villafranchian gravel, clay-limestone, and dark basaltic soils left behind by ancient, extinct volcanoes. This unique volcanic influence imparts a distinct mineral edge to the wine. Crafted from traditional Southern French varieties, the grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, destemmed, and vinified separately before undergoing partial aging in French and American oak barrels. The resulting wine beautifully captures the essence of the Mediterranean garrigue, blending rich dark fruit characteristics with subtle notes of sweet spice, cocoa, and wild herbs.
🍾 About the Producer

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.
