Mas de Farjou

The Mas de Farjou is steeped in history, with an annual intimate production of less than 10,000 bottles. Historically the family made their business by cultivating vines, olives and plants to produce silk, although today the concentration is focused on the wine.

Mas de Farjou is located at the base of the Pic Saint-Loup mountain, with vines of over 50 years old Carignan and limited parcels of Grenache and Syrah. The standout practice of Mas de Farjou are the ancient methods employed, which are still required in order to maintain traditional methodologies and the highest standards. Grapes are collected and matured in a cellar that has not changed in over 100 years, and are pressed using a Marmonier (traditional press) dating from 1911.

Region and Appellation Information

Region – Languedoc

The Languedoc, though often referred to loosely as a single entity, is not a wine appellation in its own right but a broad Mediterranean region encompassing a wealth of individual appellations. Traditionally, labels carried the specific titles of Languedoc AOC and its numerous sub-regions, from Corbières and Minervois to Pic Saint-Loup and Faugères. Since January 2016, the historic Languedoc-Roussillon and Midi-Pyrénées regions have been administratively merged into Occitanie, France's newest region. Stretching along the coast from the Rhône towards the Spanish border, the Languedoc is one of France's largest and most diverse wine-producing areas.

Appellation – Languedoc AOC

A broad regional appellation stretching across the Mediterranean coast of southern France, from Nîmes towards the Spanish border. Languedoc AOC covers red, white, and rosé wines, sitting at the base of the region's 'pyramid', beneath its many more specific village and cru appellations such as Corbières, Minervois, and Pic Saint-Loup. The reds, typically blends of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Carignan, are warm and generous with ripe dark fruit and garrigue herb character, while the whites and rosés are fresh and aromatic. Benefiting from a sunny Mediterranean climate and diverse terroirs, it produces characterful, food-friendly wines.
