Mas Desirée
At the foot of the Pyrenees in Languedoc-Roussillon, Mas Désirée carries the name of a Rivesaltes crafted by Château Las Collas, an estate whose roots reach back to the 17th century. Between the Aspres plain and stony terraces, Grenache Blanc, Gris and Rosé grow on clay‑limestone soils, shaped by the Tramontane.
As a Vin Doux Naturel, the style is set by mutage: neutral grape spirit is added during fermentation, preserving natural sweetness and structure—an idea instantly familiar to Port lovers. What follows is élevage in wood, where slow oxidation and long years build depth, sometimes in a deliberately rancio direction.
Mas Désirée is southern France’s lesson in patience: not loud opulence, but controlled concentration. From the early AOC milestones of 1936 to today’s quiet cellar craft, it offers history that has learned to speak through time.Mas Desirée
