The Mas Amiel Estate, located at the gates of Languedoc-Roussillon in France, is one of the oldest vineyards in Europe. Founded in Maury in 1510 by the Templars under the reign of Louis XII, the Estate is now owned by the Cohen family and specializes in red wine. The vineyard is particularly rich in varied soils, giving the property a diversity of tasting. The range of terroirs that make up the Estate gives birth to wines whose fragrances recall the oaks and pine forests of the surrounding areas. The Estate is renowned for producing intense and velvety red wines, rich in aromas and depth. Since its creation, the Estate has always been worked with the utmost respect for its terroir and environmental practices. The vines are manually maintained, which allows preserving the biological balance of the soils. The red wines of the Mas Amiel Estate are made from hand-picking of the oldest vines, located at more than 800 meters altitude: these are barreled very early, which allows them to conserve all their richness and character. Thanks to a serious bottling and vinification work, the Mas Amiel Estate thus offers unique and memorable red wines. The Estate also produces a very appreciated sweet white wine, as well as a typical, delicious and fruity rose wine. For more than 500 years, the Mas Amiel Estate has been an ode to viticultural excellence and one of the main reference points of the French wine landscape. Traditional grape varieties, respect for the land, and entirely manual winemaking make the Mas Amiel Estate a unique and essential vineyard.

Discovering the wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc (formerly Coteaux du Languedoc) is a key appellation used in the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region of southern France. It covers Dry table wines of all three colors (red, white and rosé) from the entire region, but leaves Sweet and Sparkling wines to other more specialized appellations. About 75% of all Languedoc wines are red, with the remaining 25% split roughly down the middle between whites and rosés. The appellation covers most of the Languedoc region and almost a third of all the vineyards in France.

The typical Languedoc red wine is medium-bodied and Fruity. The best examples are slightly heavier and have darker, more savoury aromas, with notes of spice, undergrowth and leather. The Grape varieties used to make them are the classic southern French ones: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, often with a touch of Carignan or Cinsaut. The white wines of the appellation are made from Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Bourboulenc, with occasional use of Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne from the Rhône Valley.

The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel

Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
