Mas d'Alezon
Languedoc | France
Mas d'Alezon is a wine estate located in the Faugères appellation, in the Languedoc, run by Catherine Roque since the late 1990s. An architect by training who became a winemaker, she took over this vineyard located on schist terroirs in biodynamic farming, planted with Mediterranean grape varieties such as Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah or even Lledoner pelut (Garnacha peluda), contributing to the production of elegant, fine and racy red wines.
The estate's work emphasizes respecting the natural balance of the soil and the vine, with minimal intervention, hand-harvesting, and careful winemaking to allow the typicity of the Faugères terroir and the minerality of the schist to fully express itself. The wines are renowned for their finesse, often imbued with freshness and complex notes of black fruit, spices, and garrigue herbs.
