Jean-Claude Mas is often described as a pioneer from the New Languedoc, belonging to the new wave of French wine-makers, one
of those on a mission to give Languedoc its former glory back, in a region where wine production goes back more than 2000 years.
The story begins at Château Paul Mas in Conas hamlet, in the splendid town of Pézenas, the city of famous playwright Molière. The estates then expanded to Montagnac, with Nicole vineyard and Mas des Tannes, to Malras near Limoux, with Domaine Astruc, to Gaja et Villedieu, with Château Arrogant Frog, and to Ceyras, with Château Crès Ricards.
The Conas hamlet in Pézenas is the historical cradle of Domaines Paul Mas. Located on the Ile de Conas Estate, the castle has a long history, going back more than a thousand years. Domaine de Conas was split in 1792 and sold at auction. Only the château and the mill remained together with 27 hectares (66 acres), which became the property of Raymond Mas, Jean Claude’s grandfather, from 1954.
Jean-Claude’s great-grandfather, Auguste Mas, bought the first family vineyard in 1892, when he aquired 9 ha (22 acres) of vines in the Mas de Bicq, near the village of St Pons de Mauschiens, close to Montagnac.
In 1934, Raymond Mas expanded the family vineyard to an area of 15 ha in Domaine Montredon, Montagnac. Twenty years later, Paul Mas developed the vineyard to 120 ha (296 acres) with his brother, Maxime. In 1987, Paul Mas gave 35 ha to his son, Jean-Claude and today Domaines Paul Mas owns more than 600 hectares of vineyards, working in partnership with grape growers across an additional 1312 hectares of vines. Domaines Paul Mas has access to 40 different grape varieties, both local and international, as well as an incredible range of different terroirs in the Languedoc.
Considered a flagship of the Sud de France brand, the wines of Domaines Paul Mas express all the richness and diversity of the region. This diversity is all down to the unique situation of the region, bound by the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the mountains of the north, and by its geological formation.

Always enamoured of his home region, Jean-Claude Mas has created a way to discover the ‘art of living’ in the Languedoc through his wines and in a place created in 2012 under the name Côté Mas.
Côté Mas gathers his passions around the concept of ‘everyday luxury’: wine, cuisine, art and horse riding. The site comprises a restaurant, a bistro, a wine tasting cellar and two apartments. Almost all the year round there are cookery courses, tasting workshops, musical evenings and horse rides through the vineyards.
The view from the panoramic restaurant reveals all the shades of green of the undulating countryside (garrigues, vineyards, olive groves and truffle oaks), the Cevennes mountains, the Etang de Thau lake.
At Côté Mas, both the bistro and the gastronomic restaurant offer a menu which features the finest local and seasonal produce to pair with the wines of Domaines Paul Mas.
The excellence sought after by Jean-Claude Mas is shown too through the attention to numerous details which make all the difference.
The wine is sublimed in this context where it is surrounded by objects of art, conceived by the finest artisans from France and elsewhere: French Jacquard, Riedel glassware, plates by Limoges Haviland, Christofle cutlery, Arita Japonese porcelain and glassware creations by Daum.
