Producer
Domaine de Silene
From this winery
It is the result of a collaboration started in 1992 between Jean-Claude Mas and his mentor, Giorgio Grai (recognized as one of the greatest oenologists in the world, Luigi Verronelli Prize 2015), which allowed Jean-Claude Mas to realize the dream of his grandfather, Raymond Mas, by acquiring the Domaine du Silène in 2014.

Adjacent to Château Paul Mas, near the Cistercian abbey of Valmagne, you can admire a 360° view of the Hérault valley, the Mediterranean Sea, the Cévennes, the Montagne Noire and the Pyrenees. The vines are surrounded by truffle oaks, an olive grove, all protected by pine forests and scrubland. Rural Luxury at its peak.

The name of Silène was born from the discovery of a rock in its very stony ground (Peyrals) which would have represented the head of Silène, the preceptor of Bacchus (Roman God corresponding to Dionysus in Greek mythology, the God of the vine).
