Local Climate and Terroir at Mas Baux Estate

Mas Baux estate spans twelve hectares of vineyards with exceptional soil quality. The unique wines produced here result from a harmonious blend of factors, including the Mediterranean Sea, gentle marine winds, abundant sunshine, and a rugged landscape. With an average of 300 sunny days each year, the dry and warm climate is ideal for cultivating high-quality grapes.

From Industrialist to Winemaker

Serge Baux acquired the estate in 1997, transitioning from a successful career in industrial materials to winemaking. At the time of purchase, the estate was in poor condition, but Serge recognized its potential. Together with his wife, Marie-Pierre, he revitalized the land, replanting many vines to enhance production. Today, the estate produces around 35,000 bottles annually, with two-thirds exported. The winemaking team focuses on low yields, ensuring each vine produces no more than one bottle of fruit. Mas Baux achieved full organic certification in 2009, promoting sustainable practices in the heart of southern France.

Wine Appellations at Mas Baux

Mas Baux specializes in red wines under the Côtes du Roussillon appellation, while their rosés and whites fall within the Côtes Catalanes IGP. They also craft sweet white wines from Muscat Petit Grains grapes in the Muscat de Rivesaltes AOP and a sweet red from Grenache Noir grapes in the Vins Doux Naturels appellation. Each grape variety is fermented separately and blended with care. Depending on the style, aging occurs in stainless steel vats or oak barrels, allowing for a diverse range of flavors and aromas.

We spontaneously visited this winery and were warmly welcomed by Mr. Baux. He opened his winery especially for us and we received a lot of information about the wines he made, the history of his winery and more explanations about the area - very interesting! He spoke with a lot of enthusiasm and gave a lot of personal attention. Definitely recommended if you are looking for a small but very interesting winery with a delicious tasting.

This was so interesting. Serge did an excellent job telling us about the production of biological vine. We saw the vine yards, the production place and tasted the fantastic vines, and was so happy about this visit. Just go there, they are really friendly and passionate about this.

We had a great time; the tasting was fun with clear and understandable explanations for the uninitiated. We really appreciated the choice of wines offered, which allowed us to discover local wines with lesser-known tastes. Thank you very much for this great discovery and we hope to see you next year! Oliver and Eva

Great experience at the winery! Amazingly nice picnic in a pleasant environment after a guided tour of the vineyard. We tasted 9 wines, both rosé, red and white + two sweet wines for dessert. All the wines were delicious in their own way and we bought 4 wines with us. We took 4 dishes at the picnic. Mature food, a dish with potatoes and aioli, delicious cheese and jam + coffee, cakes and wonderful morels. All for only 30 euros per person! It is the second time we come to this winery. and we would love to come back!
