Mas Amiel
Le Mas Amiel is an estate located near the village of Maury, in the Roussillon. The Mas Amiel vineyard covers 220 hectares, 150 of which are planted with vines, benefiting from a sunny Mediterranean climate. With 70% Grenache Noir, Mas Amiel guarantees the quality of its products right from the vine. 

Rich in sugar, the grapes of the Mas Amiel vineyard give colorful, low-acid wines with remarkable fruitiness. Olivier Decellewith a determination already put to good use at Château Jean Faure, Château Haut-Maurac and Château Haut-Ballet, watches over this two-hundred-year-old estate with a single goal in mind: to make the best of it. Mas Amiel a benchmark estate in the appellation Maurya world-renowned brand. A mission he has succeeded in accomplishing!

The history of the maury estate Mas Amiel begins in 1816, with a bishop playing one of his lands around a table. He lost it to Raymond Etienne Amiel. He thus pocketed a 10-hectare vineyard, later destroyed by phylloxera in 1865 (a plague of vine-destroying aphids). However, the estate was later replanted with American vines. This was the beginning of its second life. Amiel's son joined forces with Camille Gouzy, who built a tuns cellar on the estate. 

Mas Amiel vin suffered further hardship, however, with a poor sale. The estate was mortgaged and taken over by Charles Dupuy. His son, Charles, worked there until 1997. Olivier Decelle bought the estate in 1999, enabling him to leave for many more years of activity. 

Colorful wines are produced from Mas Amiel grapes, such as Maury blanc Mas Amiel. These wines are low in acidity, but very fruity. In 2011, the winery saw another turning point with the creation of ACO Maury sec. The Maury vineyard has been producing dry wines since the Middle Ages: an opportunity to celebrate and highlight the history of the estate and its products. The estate also produces exceptional wines, such as Mas Amiel Maury vintage 2015. Every day, Mas Amiel strives to showcase its skills and know-how, qualities that extend beyond the borders of the department.

"High-flying red (RVF)

"A wine soared with rain, rocks and roses. It fills the mouth vertically, then broadly, like choral music filling the high vault of a cathedral. The delicate dryness of the tannins brings breath and pauses, increasing the tension and lengthening the echo of its harmonies. A wine of great purity and determination". (Jancis Robinson 2023)

"Sit back, relax and take the time to savor this incredibly award-winning Maury!"

"It looks like prune juice. It smells of licorice tea, smoked anise and linseed. Surprisingly smoky and meaty. Prunes. Stunning concentration - it feels as if the wine has been extracted from the heart of the earth. There's so much here that it's impossible to do this wine justice in a quick tasting. This wine requires hours of time and attention. It's an imposing sculpture. To grasp it, you have to sit with it, listen to it, give it a chance to tell its story." (Jancis Robinson 2024)

"A must-see

"A blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Carignan and 10% Syrah aged in vats, Maury Sec Initial 2019 presents scents of crushed stone and black fruits on the nose. It's medium- to full-bodied, structured, with dusty tannins and a somewhat crisp finish. It could improve over the coming year, but should be drunk by 2025." (Wine Advocate 2021)

Vol de Nuit is the purist, no-nonsense expression of Carignan rooted deep in schist. Intense, complex, mineral nose, garrigue herbs, verbena, faded rose, blackcurrant fruit paste. On the palate, the wine is straightforward, fine, saline, finely spiced. It is full-bodied and dynamic, finishing with lines of great purity. Juicy and supple.

92-94/100 Robert Parker

"The Côtes du Roussillon Villages Origine is an equal sharing of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan, aged in a 40hl Bourguignon foudre. This fabulous 2013 reveals a dark purple color as well as notes of cassis, plum, ink, licorice and sweet wood. Strong, full-bodied and hyper-concentrated, with an unctuous texture, it remains reasonably civilized on the palate, with very slight heaviness, ripe tannins and lovely overall freshness. Those looking for more elegant, less ripe wines should avoid it, but we're fans" (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)
