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

This Fitou captivates with its aromatic freshness and hints of garrigue. On the palate, the balance is perfect: silky tannins, a supple texture, and a delicate licorice finish. An elegant and enchanting expression of the terroir. The ultimate wine for sharing!

Wine rated (2025 guide) 93/100 (2022 vintage)

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 tasting 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 working with a cooperative winery—the time needed to convert the vineyard to organic farming—they began producing Mas des Caprices in 2009. The vineyard is situated on the Leucate plateau, along 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 fruit ripeness with freshness. This is a particularly cohesive range, where a free-spirited character is combined with precise flavors.
