A vintage of both substance and finesse, where roundness and freshness converge. Its silky tannins and vibrant acidity balance seamlessly with sweetness. The finish lingers with a delicate salinity—an umami-driven expression of Mas Amiel's signature style.

TASTING NOTES :

Mahogany colour. The olfactory universe opens with notes of prunes, figues and candied oranges. Then the spices arrive, both soft and sweet. Rich yet taut, with silky tannins finely balanced by sweetness.

FOOD PAIRINGS :

A bold pairing for spiced pastilla or aged cheeses like Comté. For dessert, try it with praline or dried-fruit chocolates. Open one hour before and serve at 15°C.

TERROIR AND VINE MANAGMENT :

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% Macabeu, 5% Carignan

GRAPE 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.

MATURATION AND 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.

JAMES SUCKLING.COM

A fully developed nose showing humus, balsamic vinegar, rancio, dates, black walnut, cough syrup and sourdough. Complex and fullbodied, with a sleek and voluptuous texture to the sweet yet slightly metallic finish.
An acquired taste. Drink now.

JANCIS ROBINSON

Looks like prune juice. Smells like liquorice tea, smoked aniseed and linseeds. Amazingly smoky and meaty. Prunes. Staggering concentration – it feels as if it's been extracted from the core of the earth. There is so much here that it's impossible to do any justice to this wine in a quick tasting. This wine needs hours of time and attention. It's a towering sculpture of a wine. To grasp it, you'd need to sit with it, listen to it, give it space to tell its stories.

GUIDE TO THE FRENCH WINE REVIEW 2025

The 1999 Maury remains one of the domaine great successes, with its notes of coffee, olive, tapenade, a dry extract, a very digestible sweetness and a lot of dynamism in the mouth.
