Matassa

Languedoc producer of Grenache and Carignan, rated by major critics.

Matassa produces wines in Languedoc, the sprawling southern French region known for bold reds and increasingly refined whites. The winery focuses on Grenache and Carignan—varieties that thrive in the Mediterranean climate—alongside Macabeo and Grenache Gris for white production. El Carner, a blend of Grenache Gris and Macabeo, stands as a flagship expression of the house's white wine program. Blanc, made from Grenache Gris alone, offers a more singular perspective on the variety's mineral and aromatic potential. Cuvée Romanissa, built from Grenache and Carignan, anchors the red portfolio. These wines have been assessed by Falstaff, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Decanter, reflecting their position within serious wine criticism. Matassa's range demonstrates the textural and flavor depth available from Languedoc's traditional and emerging varietals.
