The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine As the king of fortified wines, Mas Amiel also excels in producing dry wines. Olivier Decelle, an uncompromising winemaker and the owner of Château Jean Faure, a Grand Cru Classé in Saint-Emilion, has crafted a biodynamic range that is absolutely perfect, dazzling with generosity and purity.


Among the benchmark estates in Roussillon, holding 2 stars in the RVF Guide, Mas Amiel continues its irresistible rise, and this 2022 white wine is the logical continuation of its phenomenal journey. A sublime white wine that pays homage to the region and holds its place alongside the most prestigious estates, skillfully narrating the vibrations of these unique limestone and schist soils.
Wine Emotions run high! Born from vines over 70 years old, planted on a blend of limestone and schist soils, predominantly composed of Grenache Gris, the 2022 White Côtes du Roussillon Altaïr is a seductive wine, highly aromatic and complex. White flowers, juicy fruit, and freshness take center stage, creating a delicate, persistent, and enticing whole with an irresistible charm. Such a wine at this price level is quite astonishing, as this cuvée ranks among the top 100 greatest white wines of the Mediterranean! Rated 93/100 by RVF.
Vinification Hand harvested, direct pressing followed by very light settling. 40% of the volume is vinified in one-wine demi-muids, and 60% in stainless-steel vats.

Certified organic and biodynamic wine.
