From vineyard to bottle
The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
The wines of Jean Claude Mas, part of the legendary Domaines Paul Mas, have an impressive track record. For 130 years, they have been at the forefront of Languedoc-Roussillon. Even more impressively, thanks in part to their impact, Languedoc-Roussillon wines have regained the allure and quality with which they originally began. This revival began some thirty-five years ago, thanks in part to Jean Claude Mas. Thanks to the planting of unconventional grape varieties, Languedoc-Roussillon's growing popularity continues to grow.
Pioneer Jean Claude Mas founded the winery in 1892. To this day, his descendants continue to keep the legacy alive. The planted area is unlimited, allowing them to continue experimenting. Their latest project is the Jean Claude Mas 'Mon' wines. Besides the fact that special grape varieties have taken center stage in these wines, the striking appearance of the bottles is already enough to bring a smile to your face.
For this red wine from Jean Claude Mas, Grenache grapes are used from various vineyards. Only in this way can the winemaker ensure the quality of Jean Claude Mas Grenache reaches unparalleled heights. With an average age of 20 years, we also have relatively old vines—especially by Grenache standards. After pressing and fermentation, a quarter of the precious juice is aged in oak for about five months, four-fifths of which are in American oak. This provides that little something extra that distinguishes Jean Claude Mas Grenache from all other wines.
The moment you open the distinctive bottle, the real enjoyment begins. Pour the deep purple wine and make yourself comfortable in your most relaxed armchair. You'll be treated to a rich bouquet of currants, tobacco, dark fruit, and fresh blackberries. A finish with a hint of laurel makes Jean Claude Mas Grenache extra exciting. A warm feeling takes hold of you, making this red wine from Jean Claude Mas one of our personal favorites.
