Who makes it
Domaines Paul Mas is the multi estate Languedoc group built by Jean Claude Mas from the Mas family vineyard line. The group has grown to 850 hectares across 15 châteaux and domains, with 45 grape varieties across 17 terroirs. Its portfolio includes Côté Mas, Arrogant Frog, Astelia and Château Martinolles.
Arrogant Frog joined the portfolio as a wine brand, alongside Côté Mas wines that range from rosé to red and white styles. The company works with respect for family heritage and rural roots while seeking excellence.
Where it grows
The family vineyard line began in Pézenas, in the Languedoc wine region. Today Clos Astelia sits between Montagnac and Villeveyrac and has served as the company's operational centre since 2014.
This is a multi estate operation, with a named working centre alongside vineyards spread across diverse terroirs and several wine lines.
What they make
Côté Mas Rosorange 2024 is a rosé made with white grapes and Grenache Gris. Skin maceration for 6 to 8 days at controlled temperature gives the must a light amber colour. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in two stages on the skins before the wine is pressed and blended back. The nose brings candied orange peel and quince with almond nuances reminiscent of cherry pits. The 2024 wine also shows stone fruit, fruitiness, a savoury twist and depth.
Arrogant Frog Cabernet Merlot is a red wine with a balanced palate, smooth tannins and a long finish. It can age for up to 5 years.
