THE VINTAGES
Expressing each year in its truest form
UNIQUE WINEMAKING TECHNIQUE
Our oxidative Vins Doux Naturels, made from old-vine Grenache grapes fortified while still on the skins, spend one full year under the open sky in glass demijohns, exposed to the Roussillon sun and its dramatic temperature shifts, before continuing their slow, decades-long evolution in century-old casks.
THE PERFECT PAIRING WITH CHOCOLATE & CHEESE
Oxidative wines pair beautifully with sweet dishes such as desserts or chocolate, unveiling their full aromatic richness.
Thanks to the unique character of Grenache grown on the Mas Amiel terroir, these wines retain remarkable freshness and vibrancy, resulting in a beautifully balanced wine.
Their distinctive rancio notes, resulting from the long natural oxidation, also open the door to more daring pairings, such as aged cheeses, walnuts or coffee, offering profound and refined tasting experiences.
PARCELS, GRAPE VARIETIES & TERROIR
90% Grenache Noir, 5% Maccabeu, 5% Carignan
The soils, composed of weathered schist and black marl, benefit from a full south-facing exposure that ensures optimal ripening of the grapes. Vineyard management prioritises traditional ploughing to preserve living soils and encourage deep root systems. The old-vine Grenache, over forty years of age and trained in the traditional goblet bush form, delivers naturally low yields of around 18 hl/ha, with a planting density of 3,500 to 4,000 vines per hectare.
