Domaine Mas Amiel

Domaine Mas Amiel

A story that began when, in 1816, Raymond Amiel won the deeds to this property from the Bishop of Perpignan over a game of cards. Then a mere 10 hectares, the fortunes of the estate have waxed and waned over the ensuing 200 years. Wiped out by the phylloxera epidemic in the late 19th century, replanted then lost to a wine trade crisis, it was aquired by a certain Charles Dupuy in the early 20th century. It was he who founded the ‘Mas Amiel’ brand, and the family continued to run the estate until the death of his grandson, also Charles, in 1997. The estate is now owned and run by Olivier Decelle who has done much to raise its profile, both qualitatively and commercially, and it is now the leading producer of Vins Doux Naturels in the area. In 2011 the new appellation of AOC Maury Sec was created to recognise the high quality of dry Maury wines vinified in the area, and Mas Amiel was the first producer to launch a wine under this designation.

    90 Points - Yohan Castaing - The 'Vertigo Rouge' is a stunning organic wine made from plots of vines, 5- 20 years old. Aromas of flowers, such as rose petals and flavours of red berries followed by a pronounced minerality. It is a youthful fun wine, easy to drink but, at the same time, with different layers: 80% Grenache, with 20% Syrah. These two partners give body and concentration. The grapes are handpicked and the Vertigo is a very approachable fresh wine showcasing the local grape varieties

    90 Points -  Robert Parker - Légende is made from an old vineyard plot dating back to 1949 where the first ever dry Maury wine was produced. The soil is tilled by Comtois draught horses – Rambo and Vagabond, and the blend is Grenache Noir (80%) and Carignan (20%), after being hand harvested, twice sorted and fully de-stemmed. The result is a wine with great aromatic depth.  About the Producer A story that began when, in 1816, Raymond Amiel won the deeds to this property from the Bishop of Perpig

    The plot for 'Alt433M' was planted in 1962 with Grenache and Lledoner Pelut vines at an altitude of 433M. Lledoner Pelut is a natural mutation of Grenache Noir which reaches phenolic ripeness sooner, to produce wines with a lower alcohol content and is more commonly used in the wines of Priorat, Spain. This combination of altitude, fermentation in steel vats and the addition of Lledoner Pelut into the blend produces a wine with remarkable freshness and a lower alcohol content of 12.5%.  About th

    Grape: Carignan
    ABV: 13.5%
    'Vol de Nuit' is a pure expression of the Carignan grape variety from a selection of 3 very old parcels of vines dating back to 1900. The result is a wine with a very deep colour and an explosion of fruit, black cherry and spice. Simply wonderful!  About the Producer A story that began when, in 1816, Raymond Amiel won the deeds to this property from the Bishop of Perpignan over a game of cards.
