Olivier
Decelle purchased Mas Amiel in 1997. His artisan sensibility and
meticulous approach to biodynamic farming have brought new appreciation
to a declining appellation--known almost exclusively for late-harvest,
fortified red wine. Maury's extreme climate (hot, arid summers and
cold, harsh winters) lends itself to biodynamic techniques; ripeness
and intensity are easy to achieve, finesse and backbone much harder.
Grenache--from hand-harvested, old vine fruit, vinified entirely in
stainless steel tanks--is one of Olivier's dry Roussillion wine. Bold,
primary red berry fruit and high-toned cinnamon and nutmeg spice are
balanced by a robust, fleshy mouth-feel. Excellent with Provençal
rabbit and Ratatouille.
