🇫🇷 Les Terres de MasLauris 2022

Les Terres de MasLauris 2022 – Organic GSM Elegance from the Heart of Luberon

Earth, spice, and soul—Luberon in a bottle.

Rooted in limestone and raised with intention, Les Terres de MasLauris 2022 is the estate’s flagship red—a blend that captures the full voice of the southern Rhône with a Luberon accent. Certified organic and grown in the high-elevation vineyards of François-Xavier Nicol’s estate, this Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre cuvée delivers the elegance of Provence without the ego.

Crafted in concrete vats and aged for precision (no oak to hide behind here), Les Terres is all about tension and terroir. It’s the wine you bring when you’re too grown for flashy labels but still want to impress your friends who say they “only drink Burgundy now.”

👨🌾 The Winemaker

Former engineer François-Xavier Nicol swapped data models for vine rows in 2010 and built Domaine de MasLauris from the ground up—literally. Every parcel was planted or revived with organic principles in mind. His obsession? Precision. No chemicals, no shortcuts, and no wine released unless it’s singing.

💬 Critic Review
