✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the organically farmed vineyards of Domaines Paul Mas in the Hérault valley of the Languedoc, the Mas Tannes Classique Chardonnay Vermentino is a brilliant expression of modern Southern French winemaking. This cuvée beautifully marries the rich, structural elegance of Chardonnay with the vibrant, aromatic freshness of Vermentino, locally known as Rolle. Grown on clay-limestone slopes influenced by Mediterranean breezes, the grapes are harvested at night to preserve their delicate primary aromas. The wine undergoes a meticulous cool fermentation, with a portion of the Chardonnay receiving light oak aging to add complexity and texture, while the Vermentino is kept entirely in stainless steel to maintain its crisp, citrusy drive. This harmonious blend captures the essence of the estate's 'Luxe Rural' philosophy, offering an approachable yet sophisticated white wine that reflects the sun-drenched terroir of the Pays d'Oc.
🍾 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.
