Mas de la Serrane – Les Griottiers
The History
The Mas de la Séranne is located in the appellation of Terrasses du Larzac
(Hills of the Languedoc). The latter is recognized for the aromatic complexity and freshness of the wines due to the day/night thermal amplitudes (which can reach more than 40 °F in summer). In 1998, Jean-Pierre and Isabelle Venture decided to return to their native Languedoc and change their professional life. Initially, only 5 ha, and since, little by little, the estate expands through the acquisition of small plots. Currently, the surface is about 16 hectares (35 acres).
