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 the largest wine regions in France, on the border with Spain. Its size goes hand in hand with a remarkable diversity of soils and terroirs, all bathed in a warm, sunny Mediterranean climate that is especially favourable to vines. This richness also shows in the grapes grown, from Cabernet Sauvignon to Carignan for reds, and from Grenache Blanc to Bourboulenc for whites.
Roussillon in particular also stands out for a historic, deeply local speciality: vins doux naturels (VDN). Made from grapes such as Grenache, Macabeu and Muscat, these wines are fortified during fermentation to keep part of their natural sugars. Iconic 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 an aperitif or with cheese and desserts.
