Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

This wine pairs well with pasta dishes, barbecues, poultry, game, terrines, and medium to strong cheeses. It also complements chocolate desserts.

The vineyards are situated at altitudes ranging from 50 to 200 meters. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines are planted in clay, limestone, and gravel soils, while the Merlot vines thrive in deep clay and limestone soils.

25% of the blend is aged in new oak barrels for 4 months, while the remaining 75% matures in stainless steel vats. After barrel aging, the wine is further aged for 2 months in vats prior to bottling.

Each grape variety is vinified separately. Skin contact occurs at 50°F (10°C) for 3 days prior to fermentation. Fermentation lasts 6 days at 75-78°F (24-26°C) with daily pumping over, followed by a maceration period of 9 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon and 8 days for the Merlot, all under temperature control.

At the beginning of the 2000s, the French, perceived as arrogant, no longer had a foothold abroad. Within a couple of years, Arrogant Frog has made itself the mascot of Jean-Claude Mas’ estates. The humble winemaker shows that with creativity, knowhow and a sense of humor, one can make Southern French wines shine around the world and give pure pleasure, at a reasonable price! Award-winners, the wines are Vegan certified and crafted in the objective to ravish and please consumers in an approachable way.
