Mas de Carrat: organic AOP Languedoc Saint-Drézéry wines and exceptional olive oil
Mas de Carrat
A confidential 9-hectare single-block estate in AOP Languedoc Saint-Drezery, at 150 metres of altitude, between the Cevennes and the Mediterranean. Certified organic since 2022, old vines of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Roussanne. Deep, elegant wines and an organic olive oil, to discover direct.
Between the Cevennes and the Mediterranean, on a light-bathed promontory swept by the tramontane, Mas de Carrat cultivates with conviction its AOP Languedoc Saint-Drezery wines and its organic olive oil. Here, the sun is powerful, the nights are tempered by sea breezes, and the stone tells an ancient story. The result: deep, structured, elegant wines that bear the unique signature of the Saint-Drezery terroir.
A confidential estate in the heart of the Languedoc
The vineyard covers 9 hectares in a single block, at 150 metres of altitude. The vines, planted on the hillside, sink their roots into deep, stony, living soils. The emblematic grapes of the South find their full expression here: Syrah, Grenache noir and Carignan for the reds, Grenache blanc and Roussanne for the whites. The average age of the vines exceeds 30 years, with some parcels over 50: this natural maturity brings concentration, complexity and depth to the cuvees. Since 2010, a Mediterranean olive grove has completed the landscape, where vines and olive trees coexist in harmony, in a preserved ecosystem where biodiversity is a daily reality.
Produce less, produce better, produce right
In a Languedoc in full qualitative renaissance, Mas de Carrat embodies a demanding path. Terroir wines, designed for the table, able to evolve over time yet already seductive in their youth: balance, depth and sincerity rather than easy exuberance.

A terroir of character: pebbles, marls and a limestone vein
Mas de Carrat benefits from an exceptional geology. To the north, the limestone scree soils bring tension and finesse. To the south and west, impressive flows of rolled pebbles rest on deep clay marls: these pebbles store heat by day and release it at night, favouring a slow, balanced ripening. This diversity of soils, typical of AOP Languedoc Saint-Drezery, gives birth to wines that are structured yet always elegant, powerful without heaviness, complex without excess. In the cellar, each parcel is vinified separately, with a minimum of inputs, aged in French oak barrels and bottled without filtration to preserve all the matter and aromatic complexity.
