✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted under the 'Luxe Rural' philosophy of Jean-Claude Mas, the Tannes Syrah Occitane is a vibrant expression of the Languedoc's sun-drenched terroir. The name 'Les Tannes' pays homage to the historical leather tanneries that once dotted the Hérault valley, reflecting the deep-rooted artisanal heritage of the region. Sourced from organically farmed vineyards characterized by clay-limestone soils, this wine undergoes traditional vinification with temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve its intense primary fruit. A portion of the blend is gently aged in oak barrels to add subtle complexity and roundness, resulting in a classic Southern French Syrah that balances rich dark fruit flavors with characteristic notes of black pepper, violet, and wild garrigue.
🍾 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.
