Produced by the legend of the Languedoc, Jean Claude Mas, this Pays d'Oc grenache is produced from fruit carefully harvested from 20 year old vines. The wine undergoes a traditional fermentation. 25% of the wine spends 5 months maturing in French and American oak barrels. This is a perfect wine for everyday drinking, having enough facets to hold your interest.
