Jean Claude Mas, Les Faïsses 2024 White

Jean Claude Mas Les Faïsses 2024 White is a polished Limoux white that brings together ripe tropical fruit, creamy oak influence and the fresh, mineral edge of southern France. Made from carefully selected vineyards around Limoux, it reflects both the region’s cool-climate character and Jean Claude Mas’s modern, expressive style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a golden-yellow colour that hints at its richness and subtle oak maturation. The nose opens with aromas of nuts, brioche and generous tropical fruit, especially pineapple and mango, with a refined layer of vanilla from the barrel ageing. On the palate, the wine is textured and elegant, with flavours of pineapple, mango, citrus, hazelnut and vanilla coming together in a smooth, rounded style. Partial malolactic fermentation softens the acidity, giving the wine balance and a supple mouthfeel. It should drink beautifully now, while still having the structure to develop gracefully over the next few years.

Production
The grapes come from selected vineyards around Limoux in Languedoc, where limestone and small stones help shape a wine with freshness, precision and mineral tension. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels at a controlled 16°C, and around 60% of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation to soften the acidity. It is then matured in oak barrels, using 50% French and 50% American oak, with one-third of the barrels new for added complexity and depth.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for shellfish such as prawns and scallops, where the wine’s richness and freshness complement the sweetness of the seafood. It also pairs very well with aged goat’s cheese. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and decanting is not necessary.
