Mas Amiel - AOC Maury 'Legende' Organic 2019

Grape

Grenache (80%), Syrah (20%)

Tasting notes

Melted tannins, expressing intrinsic freshness and vivacity. They are powdery with good presence, but always very refined. Richness, strength and great aromatic depth are the features of these old Grenache and Carignan vines planted in calcium-rich schist.

Expert Ratings

'An 80-20 blend of Grenache and Carignan, the 2019 Maury Sec Legende comes from a parcel of vines that was planted in 1949. Scents of crushed stone and lavender appear on the nose, backed by an attractive mix of cherries and raspberries. Medium to full-bodied, this seems a bit less taut and etched than previous vintages but perhaps a bit more generous, with a rich, velvety texture to the finish. It should drink well for at least another 6-7 years.'

More About The Winery

Founded in 1816, Mas Amiel is the benchmark estate of the Maury appellation in the Roussillon, southern France. With more than 200 hectares of vineyards planted on schist soils under the warm Mediterranean sun, Mas Amiel has built a reputation for producing both exceptional fortified wines and increasingly acclaimed dry reds and whites.

Originally famous for its vin doux naturel (fortified sweet wines), Mas Amiel has mastered the art of ageing Grenache-based cuvées in glass demijohns under the sun before transferring them to large oak casks, a method that creates wines of depth, complexity, and elegance. Alongside these classics, the estate now produces a remarkable range of dry wines that highlight the freshness, minerality, and terroir expression of Roussillon.

Under modern stewardship, Mas Amiel has embraced organic and biodynamic viticulture, ensuring that every bottle reflects the estate’s commitment to sustainability and authenticity.

For wine lovers in Singapore, Mas Amiel offers a unique opportunity to discover the soul of Roussillon — from legendary fortified reds to innovative dry wines, all crafted with passion and respect for tradition.
