RVF
“Vinified and aged in an ovoid tank to enhance the expression of its maritime terroir”
Hailing from the Leucate plateau, nestled between the cliffs and the Mediterranean, this wine reflects all the uniqueness of its terroir. Its floral bouquet opens with aromas of fresh fruit. On the palate, it is round and supple, offering a lovely richness, good length, and delicate hints of the sea. A true delight!

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Former restaurant owners in Alsace, Pierre and Mireille Mann gave in to an irresistible urge to become winemakers, settling in 2005 in the coastal region of the Fitou appellation. After three years at a cooperative winery—the time it took to convert the vineyard to organic farming—they began producing Mas des Caprices in 2009. The vineyard is located on the Leucate plateau, at the edge of cliffs overlooking the sea, in a magnificent and unspoiled setting. Striking a harmonious balance between easy-drinking wines and more ambitious ones, the wines showcase local grape varieties (Carignan and Grenache Gris), combining ripeness with fresh fruit. This is a particularly cohesive range, where a free-spirited character is combined with precise flavors.
