Hailing from the organic vineyards of Domaines Paul Mas in the Hérault valley of Languedoc, the Mas Tannes Reserve Rouge represents Jean-Claude Mas's dedication to 'Luxe Rural'—bringing affordable luxury and sustainable viticulture to the forefront. This cuvée is crafted from organically grown grapes, typically featuring a classic Mediterranean blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan. The vines thrive on gravelly, clay-limestone terraces under the warm Mediterranean sun, cooled by gentle sea breezes. In the cellar, traditional vinification is paired with partial aging in French and American oak barrels to round out the tannins, resulting in a wine that bursts with ripe blackberries, wild herbs, and subtle sweet spices, reflecting the rustic yet refined soul of the Languedoc.

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.
