Description

Made from 100% noble grape Grenache Noir, in the Languedoc, by multi award-winning producer Jean-Claude Mas. Modern in style, this wine is all about fruit intensity and soft drinking appeal. Destemmed grapes are fermented in stainless steel and cement tanks, and 25% of the wine is aged for 5 months in American and French oak barrels, before blending. Bright crimson in colour, the nose is framboise, violet, sweet spices and vanilla, the palate is generous, jammy and supple with flavours of cherry, raspberry and spice. All in a unique bottle too!

About the Estate

Considered a flagship of the Sud de France brand, their wines express all the richness and diversity of the region.

Domaines Paul Mas owns more than 600 hectares of vineyards, and work in partnership with grape growers across an additional 1312 hectares of vines. This means that they have access to 40 different grape varieties, both local and international, as well as an incredible range of different terroirs in the Languedoc region of southern France.

This diversity is due to the unique situation of the region, bound by the Mediterranean to the south and the mountains of the north, and by its geological formation. The tiny hamlet of Conas near the historic town of Pézenas is the historical cradle of Domaines Paul Mas. Located on the Ile de Conas Estate, the castle has a long history, extending back more than a thousand years. Domaine de Conas was split in 1792 and sold at auction. Only the château and a mill remained together with 27 hectares, which became Raymond Mas’ property from 1954.

In the hands of Jean Claude Mas, Raymond's grandson, the company (still family owned and run) has grown significantly by purchasing wine estates the length and breadth of the Languedoc.
