White Wine
Jean-Claude Mas
Toasted hazelnuts, brioche, artisanal butter
Fresh and zesty finish
Arrogant Frog is a wine that proudly embraces its Mediterranean origins yet leaps out of the glass with a friendly and inviting New World attitude. To obtain the fruit-driven and unique style that defines Arrogant Frog, its creator Jean-Claude Mas (the « Humble winemaker ») harvests grapes from the hillsides of the five main valleys of the Occitanie region: the Aude, Orb, Hérault, Peyne and Uzès valley. This Chardonnay comes from the Aude, Orb and Hérault valleys. It delivers powerful flavours of toasted hazelnuts, brioche and a touch of artisanal butter, balanced impressively by a fresh and zesty finish. Explore what a prince this frog can be!
Domaines Paul Mas is one of France's largest privately owned wineries, owned by the founder and winemaker Jean-Claude Mas. Jean-Claude Mas is the fourth generation grower but first generation winemaker. Jean-Claude inherited only a 35h vineyard in 1999, established Domaines Paul Mas in 2000 and we now have 17 estates across the Languedoc covering 940ha of own vineyards. The key to the success is mainly down to Jean-Claude's close attention to all the "5 know-hows" including Viticulture, Vinification, Ageing & Blending, Bottling and Marketing. Whilst mastering all five steps in detail, with the "Luxe Rural" or "Everyday Luxury" philosophy in mind we craft great and affordable wines that stimulate real emotions. "Old World wines with a New World attitude" is the essence of our character. We are open-minded, use modern technologies, respect the rural roots and put a big focus on sustainability. This has proved for our wines to stand out to many people enjoying our wines all around the world.
