✨ Technical Specifications
Domaines Paul Mas, under the visionary leadership of Jean-Claude Mas, extends its philosophy of 'Luxe Rural' into the sun-drenched, rugged terroirs of Roussillon. The white wines of this region are shaped by an intense Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot summers, low rainfall, and the powerful Tramontane wind that naturally keeps the vineyards healthy. Grown on complex soils of black schist, clay, and limestone, the vines yield concentrated, expressive fruit. This Roussillon white blend typically undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant fruit character, with a portion sometimes aged on fine lees to add texture and complexity. It captures the wild, aromatic essence of the southern French garrigue, balancing rich stone fruit flavors with a distinct mineral backbone.
🍾 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.
