| Close to Pic St Loup, Revue de Vin de France has classified this domain as one of the top in Languedoc. In its recent classification of the entire region, Mas de Martin ranked number 18. School teacher Christian Mocci gave up his scholarly calling to travel the world making wine, before settling in Languedoc. He planted his vineyards and renovated old barns to create his winery in the early 90' and did his first estate bottling in 1998. The wines are lovingly made in a well-defined style that has resonance with Lynch Bages (Mocci’s former place of study). He avoids all the trappings of modern wine production in favor of an ancient biodynamic approach. All the grapes are destemmed. |

| Roi Patriote - Vin du Pays |
| A kitchen sink blend of Merlot (44%), Grenache Noir (15%), Syrah (12%), Cabernet Franc (10%), Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) and Tannat (8%)from low yield vines. This wine has a beautiful robe, an aromatic very deep black fruit palate, with delicate tannins characterizing high-class wines of Bordeaux. Full-bodied with fleshy, bulky and long finish. This is a vin de garde. |
 |
| Venus Coteaux du Languedoc |
| The rocky, clay-limestone soils yield a ridiculously small 25 HL/HA for this wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted. A blend of equal parts Syrah and Grenache, the wine goes though a long 4 week fermentation and is then raised in neutral barrels. Vénus has a deep reddish color with a nose of fresh fruit and spices. In the mouth, an aromatic range of ripe fruit and prunes, gentle and silky tannins and an attractive accessible fruit structure. It is elegant, yet powerful and in complete harmony. It’s a convivial wine, delightfully velvety in the mouth with an excellent PQR. |

| Cinarca Coteaux du Languedoc |
| Syrah 67% and Grenache 33% raised in neutral barrels.
Aromatic and intense palate. Strong fruit flavors, slightly smoked with spicy notes. |
 |
| Ultreia Coteaux du Languedoc |
| Syrah (50%), Grenache (30%) and Mourvèdre (20%). Old Vines, new-barrel aged for 12 months.
A very attractive palate characterizes this wine: strong spicy fruit flavors. |
