Mas des Cabres is a family wine estate run by eight generations of winemakers. The family's presence in Aspères dates back to at least 1760.
The winemaking and aging cellar has been in use for over 200 years. A majestic old vertical press, now dormant, bears witness to the many vintages vinified by the family.
Located in the foothills of the Cévenne mountains, Mas des Cabres makes unique wines that reflect their specific limestone and red clay terroir, located where the Languedoc comes together with the Rhône Valley. Their philosophy is to minimize intervention from the vines to the cellar, so as to let the wines express their true nature. The name Mas des Cabres comes from the name of the central lieu-dit where the vineyards are situated. Cabres is the Occitan word for the goats that were bred in this area in the 18th century. The domaine has been farming organically since 2019.
For Mas des Cabres, we have chosen to donate to the Alberta Council of Women’s shelters. Please check them out.
