“A signature wine of the estate; rarely has a Fitou achieved such finesse and freshness”

“A well-balanced and harmonious Fitou with aromas of black cherry, currants, dried leaves, Mediterranean herbs, and wet stones. It is medium-bodied with fine, firm tannins. It is well-structured and flavorful with a peppery finish. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. Ready to drink or for aging.” (James Suckling 2024). The ultimate convivial wine!

Wine rated (2025 guide) 93/100

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 wine:

Ze Fitou showcases the appellation—without a hint of rusticity, just pure elegance.

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 situated 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.
