Jean-Claude Mas IGP D’Oc ‘Mon Grenache’

Made from 100% noble grape Grenache Noir, in the Languedoc, by multi award-winning producer Jean-Claude Mas. Modern in style, this wine is all about fruit intensity and soft drinking appeal. Destemmed grapes are fermented in stainless steel and cement tanks, and 25% of the wine is aged for 5 months in American and French oak barrels, before blending. Bright crimson in colour, the nose is framboise, violet, sweet spices and vanilla, the palate is generous, jammy and supple with flavours of cherry, raspberry and spice. All in a unique bottle too!

• Dominic Rippon, The Buyer: “Jean-Claude Mas is one of the turbos of Languedoc’s wine industry, and this blend’s name is a clear statement of his affection for the Grenache variety. Deep ruby in colour with glints of purple, this is a self-consciously fashionable wine, with a boisterous array of red and dark fruit aromas (cherry, blueberry, blackberry), with crushed pepper and a whiff of vanilla that points to partial American oak ageing. Supple and well-rounded on the palate; toasty and extroverted. Powerful flavours that invite spicy favourites, like chilli con carne or pork ribs marinated in paprika and Mediterranean herbs.” (2020 vintage)
