Domaine Mas Barrau Cabernet Franc Vin de Pays du Gard 2025
Domaine Mas Barrau is a family estate near Nîmes on the high plateau of the Costieres de Nîmes, where Samantha and Eric have dedicated themselves to producing a Cabernet Franc that sets new standards for the variety in southern France. Cabernet Franc is much underrated and rarely cultivated outside its traditional heartlands of Bordeaux and the Loire — but in the Gard, on old river-bed soils of free-draining stone and gravel, it finds a compelling new home. Why You'll Love It This is Cabernet Franc from an unexpected address — and it is all the more exciting for it. Where the Loire gives you elegance and the Bordelais gives you structure, Mas Barrau gives you something wilder and more generous: sweet-scented ripe fruit twinned with an edgy woodland perfume, and a palate that is scrumptiously juicy and fleshy yet counterbalanced by the savoury, crunchy, rooty character that makes Cabernet Franc so distinctive. Incredibly long, very rich, and seriously good value. Vineyard & Production The Gard lies at the southern end of the Rhône valley, where the red wines carry the supple textures and peppery influences of the Rhône alongside the character of Cabernet varieties. Mas Barrau’s Cabernet Franc grapes come from a single family estate parcel near Nîmes, planted on the high plateau of the Costieres de Nîmes — old river beds of stony, free-draining soil that encourage deep root growth and produce wines of real concentration and character. The flat land and large vineyard blocks facilitate efficient, sustainable farming and exceptional value-for-money pricing. Tasting Notes A wine of real character: wild ripeness of sweet-scented fruit on the nose, twinned with an edgy woodland perfume. The palate is incredibly long and very rich — scrumptiously juicy and fleshy, yet beautifully counterbalanced by the savoury, crunchy, rooty character that is the hallmark of great Cabernet Franc. A genuinely distinctive and memorable glass. Perfect Pairings A superb match for juicy lamb sh

The aroma includes bright fruity damsons, plum and spices, balanced with the sweet and toasted notes of wood. The palate is gently appealing blackcurrant, well structured tannins, leaving a persistent flavour including hints of cherry stones.
