The estate and the wine |
|
|
A standout estate in Roussillon and a two-star producer in the French wine guide RVF, Mas Amiel masters both sweet and dry wines, crafting biodynamic cuvées that shine with purity and generosity.
A champion of a new vision for southern wines, Olivier Decelle—also the owner of Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé Château Jean Faure—has built his success on these schist-rich terroirs, working with over 130 parcels in an untouched, wild landscape. |

| | |
|
The 2023 White Côtes du Roussillon Altaïr is a blend of Grenache Gris, Grenache Blanc, and Macabeu from 70-year-old vines rooted in schist soils. This brilliantly executed combination delivers a fresh, mineral-driven structure, marked by remarkable purity, energy, and an almost silky texture. Its sharp, vibrant character makes it a standout, with a complex profile and beautifully refined bitterness that extends through the long finish. A Selection Committee favorite, rated 93/100. |
