Mas Amiel comes from the name of an engineer who won 10 hectares of vines in 1816 during a card game. Protected to the north by the Corbières hills and to the south by the first slopes of the Pyrenees, Mas Amiel is located near the village of Maury and now spans 220 hectares, 152 of which are planted with vines. Truly part of the renaissance of the Maury appellation that saw winemakers invest to produce higher quality wines and become more ambitious in the sale of their wines. Since then, the vineyard was purchased by Olivier Decelle in 1999 (who also owns vineyards in Saint-Emilion and Fronsac), and it has continued to improve in quality. Dry wines have also made a comeback in Maury and at Mas Amiel (in which it played an important role), and the dry wines have since earned their own AOC and organic certification.
Mas Amiel is certified organic and is in the process of converting to biodynamic certification.

A very fresh, dry wine. It is relatively floral, light and harmonious. The parcel it was grown on is the highest in Mas Amiel, at an altitude of 433 metres. This cuvée is made up of Grenache Noir and Llandoner Pelut, a natural mutation of the first. After manual vinifications, the bunches undergo a double sorting process. Vinification takes place in 50 hectolitre steel vats, and the two varieties are vinified together.
