History and setting
The site has a history that goes back to Gallo-Roman times, and wine has been made at Mas Montel since the 9th century. The mas is built in a U shape to shelter from the Mistral and once housed a wine cellar, an oil mill, a pigsty and a stable. Marcel Granier bought it in 1945. Two of his eight children, Dominique, an economist, and Jean-Philippe, an oenologist, joined him in 1992 and still run the estate. Beyond the vines it grows wheat, olives, citrus and truffle oaks and keeps bees. Groups can see the flour mill and bread oven, make pizza from the estate's flour, or walk marked trails through the vines and garrigue, by foot, mountain bike or electric scooter.
Getting there
The estate is at 2 chemin du Mas Montel in Aspères, on a hillside ten minutes from Sommières, between Nîmes and Montpellier. There is parking at the mas.
