✨ Technical Specifications
The Réserve Single Vineyard Collection 'La Forge Vineyard' from Domaines Paul Mas captures the Mediterranean spirit of the Pays d'Oc. Cultivated on stony limestone and gravel soils near Pézenas, this red blend focuses on Syrah and Carignan sourced from older parcels. Jean-Claude Mas blends modern, precise temperature-controlled fermentation with traditional oak maturation to accentuate plush blackberry fruit, Garrigue herbs, and a velvety texture, embodying his signature philosophy of rustic elegance.
🍾 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.
