✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the Grés de Montpellier AOC, a prestigious terroir nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the Cévennes mountains, the 'Mas des Mas' Grés de Montpellier by Paul Mas represents the pinnacle of Languedoc's regional typicity. The name 'Grés' refers to the stony, sandstone, and limestone soils covered with rolled pebbles that absorb daytime heat and radiate it back to the vines at night. This ancient terroir, cultivated since Roman times, yields a deeply concentrated red wine. Crafted under Jean-Claude Mas's philosophy of 'Luxe Rural,' this cuvée is traditionally aged in French and American oak barrels, blending the intense, spicy character of Syrah with the warm, fleshy red fruit of Grenache and the structured depth of Mourvèdre.
🍾 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.
