Ventealapropriete.com has partnered with Mas Amiel to create an exceptional cuvée. A legendary estate in Roussillon and a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture, Mas Amiel holds 2 stars in the RVF Guide and stands as a symbol of the region’s rich winemaking heritage. Best known for its iconic fortified wines, the estate also produces dry wines of remarkable purity and intensity, crafted from an unparalleled collection of old vines.
Under the guidance of Nicolas Raffy, a gifted winemaker, Mas Amiel fully expresses the character of its unique terroirs—steep, schist-laden slopes enriched with limestone, black marl, and granite. With meticulous care, he selects the finest parcels and masterfully balances blends and ageing to produce wines of extraordinary depth and finesse.
A benchmark for Mediterranean wines, Mas Amiel owes much of its recent acclaim to the vision of Olivier Decelle, who revitalized the estate 25 years ago. Also the owner of Château Jean Faure in Saint-Émilion, Decelle has overseen the creation of a range of wines that exemplify generosity and precision—cuvées on the verge of earning a third star in the RVF Guide.
