Who makes it
Domaine de Panisse farms vineyards in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes-du-Rhône under organic and biodynamic agriculture. Its identified bottle is Le Mas Panisse, a Châteauneuf-du-Pape red made from estate fruit.
The estate's farming covers the whole property. Its wine range includes a named Châteauneuf-du-Pape bottle and vineyards carrying the Côtes-du-Rhône appellation.
Where it grows
The Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation places Le Mas Panisse in a specific Rhône wine category, while Côtes-du-Rhône identifies the estate's other vineyard holdings. The two appellation names separate the named bottle from the domaine's broader Rhône vineyard base.
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is associated here with a red wine made from Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. The label therefore carries both a defined appellation and a four grape Rhône composition.
What they make
Châteauneuf du Pape Le Mas Panisse 2023 is a red made from 55% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault. Grenache forms the largest share, with Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault completing the blend.
The wines age approximately 15 months in demi-muid or barrel before bottling. Demi-muid is a large oak vessel, and ageing in oak allows slow oxygen contact that can soften tannin and broaden texture over time. Le Mas is powerful, complex and beautifully balanced.
