"A signature of the estate, rarely has a Fitou achieved such finesse and freshness.

This Fitou seduces with its aromatic freshness and hints of garrigue. On the palate, the balance is perfect: silky tannins, supple texture and a delicately liquorice finish. An elegant, bewitching expression of terroir. A convivial cuvée par excellence!

Domaine rated (guide 2026) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

Former restaurateurs in Alsace, Pierre and Mireille Mann gave in to the irrepressible urge to become winegrowers, setting up in 2005 in the maritime sector of the Fitou appellation. After three years in a cooperative winery, during which time they converted the vineyard to organic production, they began production of Mas des Caprices in 2009. The vineyard is located on the Leucate plateau, on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the sea, in a magnificent, unspoilt environment. A harmonious blend of thirst-quenching and more ambitious cuvées, the wines give pride of place to local grape varieties (carignan and grenache gris), combining ripeness and freshness of fruit. This is a particularly coherent range, where freedom of tone is combined with precision of flavor.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 29/11/2025

With its supple, infused style, this Fitou wine has a restrained power and an almost salty minerality. It seduces with its very fine, delicate texture, still firm, velvety tannins, and subtle hints of red and black fruits mixed with blood orange and smoky notes. Its slightly wild character is ideal for spicy grilled meats or duck parmentier. Rating = 4.
