A family affair…
The Mas Oncle Ernest is the fruit of four generations, whose founder Ernest Gras had painstakingly built the base.
Camille, Léon, Philippe, Pierre and now Alexandre are worthy heirs of a heritage to which they care more than anything, in a region they love more than anything.
The alliance between the men of this family and the Mont Ventoux land through the cultivation of vines, offers original and unique wines, gourmet and digestible that are just waiting to seduce you.
Each wine has its own personality and each vintage its uniqueness, here is a non-exhaustive description of each of the vintages we offer you.
A state of mind
Our goal is clear: to offer wines that leave a lasting impression from the very first sip. Our ambition is not limited to simply making ‘good wine’. To achieve this, we must be involved in every stage of the production process. Who better than the winemaker to prune, vinify or talk about their wine? Producing a reasonable volume of wine ourselves is therefore both a necessity and a choice! We attach great importance to plot selection. It must meet the criteria of the desired final product. This basic principle, if ever there was one, can prove to be more complicated in practice than it seems…
We operate based on instinct, intuition, and our feelings about each plot, depending on its exposure, age, or even its ‘soil’.
Mas Oncle Ernest offers a range of varied wines, each expressing the personality of its terroir and the uniqueness of its vintage.
A method of working…
- We vinify each plot independently in order to obtain a wide collection of samples to doctor our blends.
- We insist on the origin of the grapes that they must come from the same geological formation in order to preserve a characteristic specific to each soil and thus allow the expression of the vineyard terrain.
- Our winemaking processes seek to explode the aromatic potential of each grape variety. Working very healthy and perfectly ripe grapes allows obtaining very fruity wines with melted tannins. Our aim is to produce fine wines.
- Winemaking the wine is done in stainless steel vats and new barrels. The selection of very high quality French coopers allows us to develop an additional aromatic complexity, without masking the natural aromas of our wine. This feature brings an atypical and special side to our product.
- The resulting vintages are assembled with special care. In the end, the result is a homogeneous and coherent wine, which we will have the pleasure of making you taste…
