DESCRIPTION
Situated in in the heart of Maury, in the French Pyrenees, the Mas de Lavail winery is the story of a family's passion for land and nature. As a result, the vines are conducted in organic farming. A deep, gleaming ruby in the glass, this red made up of 15% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah and 70% Grenache Noir grapes entices from the get-go. Notes of black fruits and scrubland perfume the bouquet, while the palate is a delight of raspberry and liquorice. The Âme-Auriol is perfectly balanced between its freshness and tannic qualities. This red is the ideal pairing for all Mediterranean dishes and grilled meats.
REGION
Languedoc-Roussillon
France
Languedoc-Roussillon is one of France's largest wine-growing regions, situated on the border with Spain. Its vast size is matched by a remarkable diversity of soils and terroirs, all bathed in a warm, sunny Mediterranean climate that is particularly favorable to vine-growing. This richness is also reflected in the grape varieties grown, ranging from Cabernet Sauvignon to Carignan for the reds, or Grenache Blanc to Bourboulenc for the whites, but Roussillon in particular is also distinguished by a historic and deeply local specialty: vins doux naturels (VDN). Made from grape varieties such as Grenache, Macabeu or Muscat, these wines are mutated with alcohol during fermentation to retain some of their natural sugars. Emblematic appellations such as Banyuls, Maury, Rivesaltes and Muscat de Rivesaltes offer an incredible range of styles, from the fruitiest to the most oxidative, perfect as aperitifs or with cheeses and desserts.
