Jean-Claude Mas will be with us to present
our portfolio of wines at the London Wine Fair,
Olympia. He will be joining us to showcase
favourite brands such as Arrogant Frog and
new releases such the Astelia range, the new
single varietals from the Côté Mas range and
the newly acquired Domaine Ferrandière. This
year also features the addition of two sparkling
wines within the portfolio; a 100% Chardonnay
Brut and the Organic Crémant de Limoux.
This has been a bumper year for the wines of
Domaines Paul Mas, who have just made their
entrance into the prestigious rankings of the World’s
Most Admired Wine Brands in March, jumping
straight in at 30th position out of 50. They have also
secured 17th place in the Top European Wine Brands.

Domaine Ferrandière: Jean-Claude Mas
has continued to expand by upping the
number of his signature estates to 8, adding
the 100 ha Domaine Ferrandière property
to his estates. 70 of these ha are planted
with vines, at Aigues-Vives in the Aude re-
gion between Corbières and Minervois.
Nestling within a former maritime lagoon,
this unique limestone-clay soil is the perfect
environment for vine growing and nurtures
a special freshness and taste in our wines.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Malbec,
Marselan, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Pinot
Gris and Viognier flourish here, and these
single varietals will be open for sampling.
Côté Mas single varietals: Following the
success of the Côté Mas blends launched
in 2012 (red, white, rosé), Jean-Claude Mas
is expending the range by adding single
varietals such as Vermentino, Chardonnay,
Cabernet Sauvignon and AOPs (Languedoc
Red, Languedoc White,
AOP Pézénas) – just like
the blends, these will all be
packaged with striking Art
Deco labels in the vibrant
colours of the Languedoc.
Sparkling wines: Following the acquisi-
tion of Château Martinolles in Saint-Hilaire
(Limoux) in 2009, Jean-Claude and his team
have put significant effort into the produc-
tion of sparkling wines such as Blanquette
de Limoux and Crémant de Limoux. With
trends in the UK indicating continued
growth for the sparkling category, Jean-
Claude is launching a 100% Chardonnay
BRUT and an Organic Crémant de Limoux.
Astelia range: This high-end range of wines
is named after and dedicated to Jean-
Claude Mas’ three daughters – Astrid, Elisa
and Apolline. When asked why he chose
to name the Astelia range after his daugh-
ters, Jean-Claude’s response in a nutshell
“my wine and my girls are my finest achieve-
ments!”.Astelia Cabernet Sauvignon (aged
in oak for 14 months),
Astelia Chardonnay and
Astelia GSM (Grenache,
Syrah, Mourvèdre) will be
available for sampling.
New Arrogant Frog packaging: The fa-
mous Arrogant Frog will be on our stand
with a brand new look! The new packag-
ing includes a different bottle type, the sig-
nature of JC MAS on the capsule and an
amended label where the Frog is integrated
into a vineyard. For Jean-Claude Mas, the
aim of the redesign was to
“avoid Arrogant Frog being
confused with any critter
labels and give Arrogant
Frog a winemaker identity”.
