Mas du Novi

About

There's an unknown Languedoc. There are still in some places, between the Mediterranean and the mountains, magical places to discover. If you are a wine lover, and even a novice, simply curious, the Languedoc is a wild land that gives magical sensations. To visit the Mas du Novi is to open your eyes to a breathtaking panorama. On one side the beauty of the Etang de Thau, caught between two reliefs, Sète and Cap d'Agde, in front of the Mediterranean stretched to the horizon. On the other, on the opposite side, the plain of the Hérault bordered by the Cévennes, often covered by a thick coat of grey clouds. The Mas du Novi overlooks the Abbey of Valmagne of which it was an outbuilding in the 12th century. If the revolution erased this part of its history, a small medieval chapel and a calvary on which is engraved "Siste and Ora Viator": Traveller, sit down and pray. In one piece, the vineyard, cultivated in Organic Agriculture, shares the property with woods and garrigue.
