50 Years Old

TERROIR

South-facing slopes of decomposed schist and black marl.

GRAPE VARIETIES :

100 % Grenache noir

GRAPE HARVEST :

Hand-harvested and destemmed, the grapes undergo fortification on the skins followed by 30 days of maceration, extracting aroma and polyphenols to create a wine of fine structure and balance between fruit, alcohol and sweetness.

MATURATION AND BOTTLING :

The wine is aged for one year in glass demijohns placed outdoors under the sum, then in 350 hl old oak foudres. This exceptionally long élevage, a hallmark of Mas Amiel, lends the wine profound aromatic maturity and remarkable structural depth.

TASTING NOTES:

On the nose, the wine unfolds as a captivating journey through mocha, tobacco, rancio and fine old wood, with subtle touches of cumin and orange blossom - the unmistakable signature of Mas Amiel’s Grenache. On the palate, it is both captivating and refined: fine tobacco gives way to earthy, mineral, stony depths, unfolding with exquisite softness and extraordinary balance. This wine exists beyond time, unfolding layers of aromatic depth and mesmerising complexity through textures of rare beauty.

FOOD PAIRINGS:

This 50 Years of Age, with its vibrant freshness, is best enjoyed with a savory pairing such as Pata Negra ham or Bresse chicken with a morel cream sauce. It also pairs exceptionally well with blue cheeses like Roquefort. Or simply enjoy it on its own for the pleasure of a journey of discovery and contemplation. Open one hour beforehand and serve at 15°C (59°F).
