✨ Technical Specifications
Mas des Tannes Reserve Blanc is a premier organic cuvée from the Montagnac estate of Domaines Paul Mas, where the vines grow on clay-limestone slopes overlooking the Hérault valley. This wine represents a harmonious marriage of traditional Southern French white grapes, grown under strict organic viticulture. The grapes are harvested at night to preserve freshness, followed by a meticulous vinification process where a portion of the blend is fermented and aged in French and American oak barrels for several months. This wood contact lends a beautifully integrated creaminess and subtle vanilla note to the wine's vibrant, peach-and-wildflower-scented Mediterranean profile, embodying Jean-Claude Mas's philosophy of 'Luxe Rural'.
🍾 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.
