Arrogant Frog...
Arrogant Frog is a line of estate-bottled
wines from the Languedoc region of southern France. Like its
creator, winemaker Jean-Claude Mas (aka the Humble Vintner),
this wine is proud to assert its Mediterranean origin.
Though
typically French, Arrogant Frog leaps out of the glass with New
World panache and élan. Intense, fruit-driven aromas lead to a
suave, seductive, sophisticated palate. Quality is sealed with a
dependable screw cap, designed to preserve freshness and
youthful appeal. Arrogant Frog delivers exceptional quality for
the price and is confident of its ability to impress!
Over the centuries, generations of the Mas
family have tended vineyards and made wine in the Languedoc.
Vines were first planted here under the ancient Greeks, more
than 500 years before Christ. Despite their great age these
vineyards have lost none of their vibrancy and refined charm.
Arrogant Frog is a versatile wine sure to add
a superior edge and welcome dose of joie de vivre to your dining
experience, whether it’s a family barbecue or an elegant dinner
party.

They produce their
Chardonnay Viognier in their Caude Val winery near Limoux, 23 km
west of Carcassonne in the Languedoc region. The very
modern cellar with 25 000 Hectoliter capacity and 1000 oak barrels
offer perfect conditions for vinifying the fruits they harvest only
in the Limoux and Carcassonne region.
This part of the
Languedoc, thanks to the altitude between 140 and 300 meters and the
oceanic influence, offers very good conditions for growing these
white grape varieties.
Bright gold yellow with
straw yellow tints in colour, the nose is very elegant with a
quintessence of tropical fruits, peach and white flowers aromas with
a hint of vanilla and toasted bread. The palate is fresh and mellow
with a long persistence finishing on fruity notes. |

style. Deep purple in colour with intense, fruit-driven aromas and a
seductively silky palate, its quality is preserved with a dependable
screw-cap, ensuring that you enjoy a great glass of wine every time.
Arrogant
Frog is produced on the sunny hills of the Languedoc between the
Mediterranean sea and the Hérault valley by the Humble Winemaker.
Theses vineyards planted
first by the Greeks 500 years before Christ are ready to demonstrate
that their in spite of their age they are not ready to die against
some “new worldish…” trendy vineyards! By Blending Syrah from three
different “Terroir”: Domaine de Nicole, the Montagne Noire foothills
and the Haute Vallee de l’Aude, they have created an archetypal
Languedoc Shiraz.
Jean Claude Mas has made
the wine on the 3 different estates and then blended it at the
Arrogant Frog Winery. They keep the percentages of each different
Terroir to themselves; this is their little secret… |
