About this winery

The story begins at Château Paul Mas in Conas hamlet, in the splendid town of Pézenas, the city of famous playwright Molière. The estates then expanded to Montagnac, with Nicole vineyard and Mas des Tannes. Jean-Claude Mas’s great-grandfather, Auguste Mas, bought the first family vineyard in 1892, when he aquired 9 ha (22 acres) of vines in the Mas de Bicq, near the village of St Pons de Mauschiens. In 1934, Raymond Mas brings the family vineyard to a surface of 15 ha in Domaine Montredon...

Production notes

De-stemming, skin maceration for 4 hours from the grapes of the oldest vines, settling at low temperature at 10°C. Fermentation lasts 4 weeks, at controlled temperature (18°C max). Malolactic fermentation for 20% of the wine. 15% of Viognier finishes its fermentation in new oak barrels. Aged for a period of 3 months for 15% of the wine.

Tasting notes

Golden yellow, bright color, with green undertones. Rich and elegant nose, with a quintessence of dried fruits, peach, white flowers, and a touch of vanilla and honey. Ample, fresh, and smooth palate with a long finish and subtle toasted notes. Serve as an aperitif. Also with seafood and fish, curry dishes, white meats, blue cheese, or any fruit desserts.
