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.
🍾 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.
