Ventealapropriete.com teams up with Mas Amiel for an exceptional cuvée! A Roussillon legend and a biodynamic pioneer with two stars in the RVF Guide, Mas Amiel is a cornerstone of the region's wine heritage. Famous for its natural sweet wines, the estate also excels in producing dry wines with a pure and vibrant style, supported by its treasure trove of old vines.
Talented winemaker Nicolas Raffy champions these schist-laden soils, rich with limestone, black marl, and granite. He meticulously selects steep parcels and perfects the blends and aging processes to elevate the wines to the highest level.
