Côté Mas, Luxe Rural, Syrah - Grenache Noir, IGP Pays d'Oc, Rouge

Côté Mas is an invitation to journey into the heart of the Coteaux du Languedoc Crus and Languedoc’s main appellations. Those wines represent the diversity of terroirs within the same appellation and the essence of each traditional appellation in the Languedoc. They are a fusion between the tradition of winemaking and the new approach to wine, embodied by Jean-Claude Mas and his partners-vintners. Jean Claude skillfully assembled the best grape varieties from Languedoc, to highlight the diversity and expression of the fruits of this Mediterranean region.
