Mas Amiel - Maury Vin Doux Naturel - 20 ans d'âge

Keywords: Gourmet / Complex / Elegant

The wine: This 20 years old with amber color from Mas Amiel delights us with its great aromatic complexityand its finesse. Gourmet notes of chocolate and coffee travel through the palate, accompanied by aromas of dried fruits (grape, fig, walnut, hazelnut) mild spices (cinnamon, licorice, pepper) but also candied red and black fruits (cherry, prune). The tasting ends in a heady and very digestible length. The whole thing works wonderfully with blue-veined cheeses (Bleu, Roquefort etc.) or chocolate desserts. A great treat !

The estate: Since its creation in 1816, the Mas Amiel has been the spearhead of the great natural sweet wines of the Roussillon region. Bought in 1999 by Olivier Decelle (also owner of Château Jean Faure in Saint-Émilion and the Decelle estate in Burgundy), the operation today covers 155 hectares with mainly shale and clay-limestone soils. Since the beginning of the century, the vineyard has been converted to Organic Farming and constitutes an absolute reference in Languedoc-Roussillon.
