Domaine rated (guide 2025) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

Former restaurateurs in Alsace, Pierre and Mireille Mann gave in to the irrepressible urge to become winegrowers, setting up in 2005 in the maritime sector of the Fitou appellation. After three years in a cooperative winery, during which time they converted the vineyard to organic production, they began production of Mas des Caprices in 2009. The vineyard is located on the Leucate plateau, on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the sea, in a magnificent, unspoilt environment. A harmonious blend of thirst-quenching and more ambitious cuvées, the wines give pride of place to local grape varieties (carignan and grenache gris), combining ripeness and freshness of fruit. This is a particularly coherent range, where freedom of tone is combined with precision of flavor.
