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.
🍾 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.
