MAS AMIEL RESERVE
20 Ans d'âge Maury Domaine Mas Amiel
| Grapes | Carignan, Grenache, Macabeu |
| Origin | France, Vin Doux Naturel |
| Village | Maury |
| ABV | 16.5% |
Made in the classical Mas Amiel manner, 'muté sur grain', aged a year in 'bonbonnes' (prodigiously large glass jars which are left out in the sun and snow on the foothills of the Pyrenees) for a year, then aged in wood (large 'foudres') until bottling almost 20 years later. 90% Grenache, 5% each Carignan and Macabeu. Vaguely reminiscent of a tawny Port in a style all its own. Complex with great finesse and elegance - but no lightweight even after 20 years of ageing. Fine notes of dried fig, some baking spice and gorgeous soft licorice flashes. Finishes long and charming. Very expressive and a delightful with cheeses or and even partners well with the mercilessly difficult chocolate-heavy puddings. L&S (Sept 2022)

Domaine Mas Amiel
Mas Amiel is an emblematic historic estate in Roussillon, founded in 1816. Based in Maury, the domaine is fully certified organic and biodynamic, and now produces a range of wines expressing different facets of the Maury terroir, shaped by the surrounding mountains both through marked diurnal temperature variation in summer and through its geological heritage of unique calcoschist soils – giving the wines their signature expressive fruit, excellent freshness and minerality. This terroir, together with the two hundred years of expertise of the Mas Amiel team, is the reason why the estate has become known as a French benchmark for fortified wines: Vins Doux Naturels.
