Jean-Claude Mas is considered a leader of “Sud de France,” seeing the Languedoc as a place for wines with quality, richness, and diversity. Jean-Claude’s great-grandfather, Auguste Mas, bought the first family vineyard in 1892 and the family have built a large endeavour from that start. Today Paul Mas wines aim for the authenticity and character of the south, with respect for the environment in grape growing and respect for the fruit in winemaking. A talent for blending and ageing are part of the Paul Mas style. Almost a third of the estates’ own vineyards are organic.
