Revue du Vin de France : 18.5/20

Bettane et Desseauve 2020 : 18.5

A vintage of remarkable concentration, brimming with aromas of walnut—so emblematic of very old sweet wines—intertwined with hints of brandied fruit preserves. The palate is dense, taut, and finely chiselled. 1985 is a Mas Amiel defined by its depth and structure.

TASTING NOTES:

Boasting great concentration, this vintage has a deep and dense colour. It exhales expressive aromas of cocoa, prunes and walnut, the latter of which is characteristics of very old fortified wines. The palate is suave and refined with lively acidity. Figs and walnuts lead into a perfectly balanced finish of alcohol, sugar, and acidity, with lingering notes of mocha.

FOOD PAIRINGS:

1985 reveals astonishing freshness and vitality. Enjoy it with hare 'à la royale' or with blue-veined cheeses. As a digestif, it wraps dark chocolate in a velvet embrace. Open one hour before serving and decant at 15°C.

TERROIR AND VINE MANAGEMENT :

South-facing slopes of decomposed schist and black marl. Soils are regularly tilled. Goblet-trained vines over 40 years old. Average yield: 18 hl/ha. Planting density: 3,500–4,000 vines/ha.

GRAPE VARIETIES :

90 % Grenache noir, 5% Maccabeu, 5% Carignan

HARVEST :

Manual harvest. Double sorting and destemming.

WINEMAKING:

Extra alcohol is added during the fermentation while the wine is still on the skins (mutage sur grains), and then the whole is allowed to macerate for 30 days to extract the aromas and polyphenols from the grapes, ensuring a nice balance of fruit, alcohol and sugar.

MATURATIONAND BOTTLING :

One year in glass demijohns outdoors under the sun, then transferred to old 350-hl oak casks where it remains to this day, continuing its slow, graceful evolution. This exceptionally long maturation—part of the Mas Amiel signature—nurtures a wine of profound aromatic complexity and structural depth.

1985

The Maury Doux 1985 has a deep, coffee color to go with an almost Rancio-like bouquet of sour figs, toffee, licorice and toasted spice. This gives way to a seriously concentrated, decadent and chewy effort that still manages to stay fresh and lively on the palate. As usual, this is 100% Grenache that was brought up all in foudre. I’d drink bottles over the coming 5-10 years, but it will evolve for longer.

Favorite 18.5/20

GUIDE TO THE FRENCH WINE REVIEW 2020
1985

The old Maurys, patinated by time, are sublime, the airy 40-year-old Rancio and the vibrant, evocative, powerful, intoxicating 1985. More than curiosities, these are great wines, still affordable and capable of multiple and flamboyant gastronomic pairings.

UNIQUE WINEMAKING TECHNIQUE

Our oxidative Vins Doux Naturels, made from old-vine Grenache grapes fortified while still on the skins, spend one full year under the open sky in glass demijohns, exposed to the Roussillon sun and its dramatic temperature shifts, before continuing their slow, decades-long evolution in century-old casks.

VINIFICATION OF SWEET WINES

THE PERFECT PAIRING WITH CHOCOLATE & CHEESE

Oxidative wines pair beautifully with sweet dishes such as desserts or chocolate, unveiling their full aromatic richness.

Thanks to the unique character of Grenache grown on the Mas Amiel terroir, these winesretain remarkable freshness and vibrancy, resulting in a beautifully balanced wine.Their distinctive rancio notes, resulting from the long natural oxidation, also open the door tomore daring pairings, such as aged cheeses,walnuts or coffee, offering profound and refined tasting experiences

PARCELS, GRAPE VARIETIES & TERROIR

90% Grenache Noir, 5% Maccabeu, 5% Carignan

The soils, composed of weathered schist and black marl, benefit from a full south-facing exposure that ensures optimal ripening of the grapes. Vineyard management prioritises traditional ploughing to preserve living soils and encourage deep root systems. The old-vine Grenache, over forty years of age and trained in the traditional goblet bush form, delivers naturally low yields of around 18 hl/ha, with a planting density of 3,500 to 4,000 vines per hectare.
