PAUL MAS
Paul Mas wines are the result of a symbiotic harmony between an extraordinary region for producing wines, a passion for the vineyard, a respect for the grapes during vinification, and a great blending and aging knowledge: the Paul Mas style.
Paul Mas vineyards are situated in the Languedoc region of South of France between Pézenas and Montpellier, 10 km from the Mediterranean.
VIGNES DE NICOLE
“Vignes de Nicole” stands as a true gem in Jean-Claude Mas’ wine collection. It embodies a profound passion for traditional viticulture, diverse terroirs, and meticulously controlled winemaking processes. This premium brand offers a distinctive tasting experience, appealing to both connoisseurs and wine enthusiasts alike.
Highly regarded for its unique flavor profile and outstanding quality, “Vignes de Nicole” wines are complex, well-balanced, and possess excellent aging potential.
CÔTÉ MAS
Côté Mas is an invitation to experience our Rural Luxury, a Domaines Paul Mas lifestyle signature. Sharing our landscape, our climate, our warm welcome and our produce, together with a glass of wine will bring you true emotions. Côté Mas offers generous wines on the palate, like our sun, made with typical Mediterranean varietals.
ARROGANT FROG
With Arrogant Frog, mascot of all our estates, the “humble winemaker” Jean-Claude Mas shows that with creativity, know-how and a sense of humour, one can make South of France wines shine around the world at a reasonable price!
This Frog is typically French but leaps out of the glass with New World attitude and style. To obtain the fruit-driven style and exceptional quality that defines Arrogant Frog, Jean-Claude Mas selected the best grapes coming from the hillsides of the five main valleys of the Languedoc region: the Aude, Orb, Hérault, Peyne and Uzès valley.
Mon Ma
The MON/MA range from Jean-Claude Mas is made up of blends and single varietal wines from noble and traditional grape varieties, such as Viognier and Grenache, which are historically entwined with the story of Domaines Paul Mas. These varieties fully express themselves on the Languedoc terroirs offering fruity, pleasant and easy-drinking wines.
It is a long-standing love for Jean-Claude. Before becoming a winemaker, he dreamt, as a child, of being a racing car driver. It is only expected that one of his passions is linked to this exceptional range.
CUVÉE SECRÈTE
Jean-Claude Mas has worked on the Cuvée Secrète wines now for the last 7 years: Cru wines, wines with ageing potential, traditional Blanc de Blanc methods, organic wines, biodynamic without sulphur added. This cuvee from autochthonous vines planted by the Romans over 1000 years ago offers surprising characteristics depending on the terroir.
DOMAINE ASTRUC
Domaine Astruc is located on the foothill of the Pyrenees. The vineyards consist of 80 ha, with 25 planted on the Limoux appellation and another 250 ha under contract. This is a unique terroir in Languedoc, where diverse climatic influences converge, the Mediterranean and the Oceanic being the most important ones. On the hillsides of the Aude valley, chardonnay is the king, but red grape varieties are also important: Pinot noir, Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet franc, Merlot and Malbec give surprising wines. Our Malras site hosts our main cellar and bottling line. This is where we produce the Domaine Astruc wines, as well as the dA reserve and classic ranges which consists of 20 different varietals.
L’ARTISAN
L’Artisan or « craftmanship » are cuvées from meticulous plot selections in our vineyards and benefiting from a “tailor-made” cellar work. Our result: the pure and intense expression of our vines.
Jean-Claude Mas’ passion for wine was born at an early age when his mother used to take him for rides across the family estate by moped. From these escapades, the story of Domaines Paul Mas began.
