Description

Mas Amiel is a large property – the biggest private cellar in Maury – located in the heart of the Agly valley, in France’s Roussillon region. This is Cathar country: it’s beautiful but rugged, a hot, rather hostile environment with rocky, stony soils, frequent windy weather, and 260 days’ sunshine a year. Back in 1816, a bishop used one of his plots of land as a bet in a game of cards. He lost it to Raymond Amiel, and this is how Mas Amiel was born. At the time, it only had 10 hectares of vines on it; it has grown substantially since then.
There are now 170 hectares of vineyards on this large 226 hectare estate. Yields here are small, ranging from 10–22 hectolitres/hectare. The heart of the Mas Amiel range is formed by the traditional sweet fortified wines that are unique to this region. Maury is made by allowing fermentation to start, but then stopping it by adding alcohol, which kills the yeasts, and leaves lots of sugar in the wine—this is similar to the way Port is produced. Then comes the stage unique to Maury: the wine is placed into glass demi-johns and left outside for a year. This causes an intentional oxidation, and changes the wine’s colour, making it lighter. It then goes into large oak, where it can stay for a short while, or many years. The result is a complex sweet wine of real intensity.

What a mouth! Alcohol gives fullness to all. Pure intense pleasure. It is of course very long and warm.
