Mas des Cabres
Florent Boutin
Located in the foothills of the Cévenne mountains, Mas des Cabres makes unique wines that reflect their specific limestone and red clay terroir, located where the Languedoc comes together with the Rhône Valley. Their philosophy is to minimize intervention from the vines to the cellar, so as to let the wines express their true nature. The name Mas des Cabres comes from the name of the central lieu-dit where the vineyards are situated. Cabres is the Occitan word for the goats that were bred in this area in the 18th century. The domaine has been farming organically since 2019.
Key information
The wines
Pays d’Oc Blanc Estive
The nose reveals notes of pineapple, lemon and pear. The well-balanced palate is mineral rich and retains much freshness.
Languedoc Estive Rosé
A pale rosé where smoothness is fully expressed. Sweet notes of Muscat, cherry and raspberry dominate the nose and the palate.
Languedoc Sommières Libres Pensées Rouge
So much elegance, depth and character is found in this cuvée of unknown lands. The vinification and aging are here simple, with the simple pursuit of balance placed first.
Languedoc Sommières La Draille Rouge
Selection of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, from low-yileding vines (30 hl/ha). This vintage goes through long refinement in barrels and creates an elegant, complex wine with notes of blackberry, sweet spice and mocha.
Languedoc Rouge Terres d’Aspères
A great classic wine from Languedoc. The Syrah and Grenache greatly reflect the Aspères terroir and show notes of blackberry and scrublands.
