An exceptional terroir in Gascony
The vineyard is planted on a diversity of soils typical of the South-West wine region: boulbenes, tawny sands, gravels and silty clays. This geological richness makes it possible to produce wines with varied aromatic profiles, expressing all the typicity of the Cotes de Gascogne IGP.
Grapes selected for expressive wines
Domaine Massas is planted with 90% white grapes (Colombard, Gros Manseng, Ugni Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc) and 10% red grapes (Tannat, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon). These grapes are carefully worked to reveal fruity white wines, fresh roses and red wines of character.
Sustainable viticulture and precise know-how
The estate practises a reasoned agriculture, with simple Guyot pruning, vigour management and mechanical disbudding, respecting the environment and the quality of the grape. The harvest takes place at night to preserve the freshness of the fruit; cold skin maceration and ageing on fine lees for six months give wines with a fine aromatic intensity, a controlled roundness and a long finish on the palate.
