Mas Amiel

I've posted a new profile on Mas Amiel and 10+ wine reviews (including a sublime, 93-95 point 1980 Maury) here in my Roussillon guides. A little taster: "Arguably the most famous name in the Maury area (and suitably celeb prices to match, you might be cheeky enough to add), Mas Amiel has been owned by Bordeaux magnate Olivier Decelle... since 1999..."

Eclectic and varied...

A few more or less obscure "wines of the moment" have turned up on French Med Wine (click here to read full notes): 2008 "One Block" red Côtes du Roussillon from Domaine Treloar, 2008 Touraine-Mesland (where?) white from Clos Château Gaillard, 2008 Côtes du Brulhois (ditto?) rosé from Clos Pountet and perhaps more "classic" 2008 Montagny "Les Crets" from Domaine Feuillat-Juillot. Eclectic and varied selection, c'est la France!
