Crafted under the 'Luxe Rural' philosophy of Jean-Claude Mas, this Sauvignon Blanc captures the sun-drenched yet breezy terroir of the Pays d'Oc in Languedoc. Grown on clay-limestone hillsides in the Hérault valley, the vines benefit from a Mediterranean climate tempered by cool night breezes, which helps preserve the grape's natural acidity and vibrant aromatics. To maintain its crisp, expressive character, the grapes are harvested during the cool night hours, gently pressed, and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. A brief period of aging on its fine lees imparts a subtle roundness to the wine's zesty citrus, gooseberry, and tropical fruit profile, resulting in an approachable, refreshing white wine that beautifully represents the modern, quality-driven spirit of Southern French winemaking.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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.
