2012 Plaisir Rouge, Mas Amiel, Languedoc-Roussillon, France, Côtes de Roussillon
The domain Mas Amiel is 170 hectares and owned by Olivier Decelle. It benefits from an exceptional location in the heart of the Vallée de l'Agly near Maury. In the north it is protected by the Corbières, in the south by the Pyrenees. Mas Amiel can also enjoy a unique semi-dry Mediterranean climate. Olivier Decelle is supported by a consultant of international repute: Claude Bourguignon, a specialist in the field of soil microbiology. Both he and Olivier Decelle have a very great respect for nature.
This domain especially makes sweet wines but this red dry wine is a pearl of great finesse and quality.
Very stony soils with clay in the subsoil. Selection on the hills with surface of slate and limestone-shale (sector Mas Amiel). Northern and southern exposure of the vineyards.
Manual harvest. Full destemming. Winemaking in concrete vats of 8400 liters. Malolactic fermentation in December. Maturation of 10 months solely on these concrete casks.
