Brand details
This Estate was created in 1960, at the place known as Crès Ricards, in the village of Ceyras. In 2010 Jean Claude Mas acquired the 27 ha (69 acres) belonging to the Château, extending the estate to 42 ha in 2013. He was fascinated by the fantastic terroir of the Terrasses du Larzac, which produces silky wines with intense flavours. At the foot of the Mont Baudile, this vineyard offers a unique geography, with its red earth, shale, and pebbles. Yields are low, because of the strict grape selection and carbonic maceration to produce generous wines.

Vinification details
Upon arrival, the grapes are sorted on a selection table. Traditional winemaking methods are used for the Grenache, with daily racking or pumping over and maceration lasting between 2 and 4 weeks. The Carignan undergoes carbonic maceration with whole bunches for 15-18 days. For aging, 45% of the blend is placed in oak barrels for 8 months - 1/3 in French oak, 2/3 in American oak - using a mix of new barrels, one-year-old barrels, and two-year-old barrels. The remaining 55% is aged in stainless steel vats.
