✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted under the sun-drenched skies of the Languedoc, the Côté Mas Sauvignon Vermentino is a vibrant expression of the region's modern winemaking renaissance. This blend harmoniously marries the zesty, herbaceous character of Sauvignon Blanc with the aromatic, textured warmth of Vermentino, a grape deeply rooted in Mediterranean history. Sourced from clay-limestone hillsides that benefit from cooling maritime breezes, the grapes are harvested during the cool night hours to preserve their delicate primary aromas. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, the wine bypasses oak aging to safeguard its bright fruit profile and crisp acidity. It beautifully encapsulates the 'Luxe Rural' philosophy of Jean-Claude Mas, offering an accessible, joyful taste of the South of France.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 2000 by fourth-generation vigneron Jean-Claude Mas, Domaines Paul Mas has become a preeminent force redefining modern viticulture in the Languedoc. Blending centuries of familial heritage dating back to 1892 with a contemporary New World dynamism, the estate champions a philosophy Jean-Claude terms 'rural luxury'—delivering site-expressive, terroir-focused wines of tremendous value and character. The extensive vineyard holdings span diverse terroirs across Pézenas, Montagnac, Limoux, and Terrasses du Larzac, anchored by clay-limestone soils, river gravels, and fossil-rich deposits under the moderating influence of Mediterranean sea breezes and cooling Tramontane winds. Viticulture balances widespread organic conversion certified via Ecocert with rigorous HVE Level 3 environmental management. Vinification emphasizes varietal precision, supple extraction, and judicious French and American oak maturation. The producer's benchmark bottlings include the Réserve Single Vineyard Collection La Forge, the organically farmed Mas des Tannes cuvées, and the vibrant, food-friendly Côté Mas portfolio.
