More about this wine
More about this wine
Crafted from a blend of Grenache Noir vintages aged for over 40 years in oxidative conditions, this cuvée transports you into the deeply expressive world of rancio. It’s an aromatic voyage—intense, meditative, and multidimensional—where time and terroir converge in perfect harmony.
Vineyard and Terroir
South-facing slopes of decomposed schist and black marl. Soils are regularly tilled. Goblet-trained vines over 40 years old. Average yield: 18 hl/ha. Planting density: 3,500–4,000 vines/ha.
Winemaking and Aging
Manual harvest. Double sorting and destemming.
Extra alcohol is added during the fermentation while the wine is still on the skins (mutage sur grains), and then the whole is allowed to macerate for 30 days to extract the aromas and polyphenols from the grapes, ensuring a nice balance of fruit, alcohol and sugar.
One year in glass demijohns outdoors under the sun, then transferred to old 350-hl oak casks where it remains to this day, continuing its slow, graceful evolution. This exceptionally long maturation—part of the Mas Amiel signature—nurtures a wine of profound aromatic complexity and structural depth.
Tasting notes
Tasting notes
Eye
Magnificent mahogany robe.
Nose
Aromas of walnut, fig, and date meld with notes of dark tobacco.
Palate
The finish lingers with a striking bitterness of orange peel—long, persistent, and memorable. A great Maury, marked by rustic freshness and remarkable depth.
Service and Pairing
This wine, with its bright, age-defying freshness, pairs beautifully with Pata Negra, blue cheeses like Roquefort, or simply savoured on its own for the pleasure of the journey. Open one hour before serving at 15°C.
Unlimited ageing potential.

Mas Amiel
Mythical Domaine of Roussillon
Founded in 1816, after being won at a card game, Mas Amiel is a historic, biodynamic wine estate in France's Roussillon region, renowned for its fortified sweet wines. Its traditional oxidative wines are famously aged for years in large glass bottles called demijohns left in the sun. The estate also produces highly-regarded dry red and white wines.
A strong commitment to sustainable viticulture is central to their philosophy, resulting in wines that reflect the unique character of the sunny, windswept Maury appellation.
