Jean-Claude Mas's great- grandfather, Auguste Mas, bought the first family vineyard in 1892, when he acquired 9 hectares close to Montagnac. In 1987, Paul Mas, son of Auguste Mas gives 35 hectares to his son, Jean-Claude, who created Domaines Paul Mas. Jean-Claude Mas is therefore the fourth generation vinegrower and first-generation winemaker. Jean- Claude is part of a new wave of winemakers reviving the image of the Languedoc region. Nowadays, Domaines Paul Mas owns 850 hectares of vineyards throughout 15 wines estates in the Languedoc and works in partnership with grape growers across an additional 1250 hectares of vines. This gives the winery access to 40 different grape varieties, both local and international, as well as an incredible range of complex terroirs in the Languedoc.
