✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched hillsides of the Pays d'Oc, Les Tannes en Occitanie Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant testament to the modern Languedoc revolution led by Jean-Claude Mas. The name 'Les Tannes' pays homage to the unique clay and limestone soils of the region, which retain vital moisture during the hot Mediterranean summers. To preserve the grape's signature crispness and delicate aromatics in this warm climate, the grapes are harvested during the cool of the night. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel and aged on its fine lees, this single-varietal wine beautifully marries the classic herbaceous, citrus-driven profile of Sauvignon Blanc with the generous, sun-kissed fruit character typical of Southern France.
🍾 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.
