✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched hillsides of the Pays d'Oc, Les Tannes Cabernet Sauvignon Occitane is a vibrant testament to the region's winemaking heritage. The name 'Les Tannes' refers to the clay-limestone soils of the Languedoc, which have been cultivated since Roman times. This wine is crafted from sustainably grown Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that thrive under the Mediterranean sun, balanced by cooling sea breezes. To achieve its signature style, a portion of the blend is aged in French and American oak barrels to add structure and hints of vanilla, while the rest remains in stainless steel to preserve the bright, expressive blackcurrant and plum fruit characteristics.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 2000 by fourth-generation vigneron Jean-Claude Mas, Domaines Paul Mas has become a preeminent force redefining modern viticulture in the Languedoc. Blending centuries of familial heritage dating back to 1892 with a contemporary New World dynamism, the estate champions a philosophy Jean-Claude terms 'rural luxury'—delivering site-expressive, terroir-focused wines of tremendous value and character. The extensive vineyard holdings span diverse terroirs across Pézenas, Montagnac, Limoux, and Terrasses du Larzac, anchored by clay-limestone soils, river gravels, and fossil-rich deposits under the moderating influence of Mediterranean sea breezes and cooling Tramontane winds. Viticulture balances widespread organic conversion certified via Ecocert with rigorous HVE Level 3 environmental management. Vinification emphasizes varietal precision, supple extraction, and judicious French and American oak maturation. The producer's benchmark bottlings include the Réserve Single Vineyard Collection La Forge, the organically farmed Mas des Tannes cuvées, and the vibrant, food-friendly Côté Mas portfolio.
