With its Signature Range, Roche Mazet lets wines be themselves by respecting the grape varieties that grow in the rich diversity of Pays d’Oc terroirs and crafting them with expertise. We seek the perfect chord inspired by Leonardo de Vinci’s assertion that “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”.
OUR SIGNATURE RANGE: The unique aromatic identity of Roche Mazet varietals
Wine comes from a fruit and that fruit comes from a plant: the vine. There are different sorts of vines that produce different grape varieties. The Roche Mazet philosophy is quite simple: offer the very best of each grape variety to highlight each one’s specific characteristics and its unique identity.
A mosaic of terroirs
The unmistakeable Roche Mazet touch comes from thorough selection. Pays d’Oc is a vast mosaic of wine growing situations and conditions. To produce its Signature Range, Roche Mazet picks out the places in the Pays d’Oc where the best of each grape variety is expressed and carefully blends them together with respect and great passion. While each Roche Mazet Signature wine is a varietal, it is made up of a selection of fruit of that grape variety, a blend of different interpretations from different terroirs.
Expressing expertise in two ways
The Roche Mazet touch also involves winemaking techniques that bring out the fine qualities of each grape variety. The wines are wood-aged depending on the qualities of each vine type. With concentrated, richly supple varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, wood contributes roundness and body. With other types of wine, Roche Mazet aims to give free expression to the fruit, highlighting freshness and a full palette of aromas.
The tasting experience
Finally, you recognise the Roche Mazet touch through a unique tasting experience. It is a 12-chapter story made up of 11 varietals : three reds made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir, three rosés using Cinsault-Grenache, Syrah and Merlot, four whites made from Viognier, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, and Gewurztraminer, two medium sweets using Grenache and Muscat. The Roche Mazet Signature collection is a very elegant way to tour Pays d’Oc wines.
