					<description><![CDATA[Friends since school, Anthony Aubert &#38; Jean-Charles Mathieu challenged themselves to create a range of wines in their image, by bringing a touch of originality and modernity to their cuvées. Created in 2018, they are part of an eco-conscious approach, more transparent and more sustainable. This commitment is evident from the vine to the bottle with organic cuvées or in conversion.

<span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Carbon neutrality</strong></span> is the brand's primary commitment.
In 2022, 70% of all the cuvées will be certified by an environmental label.
<span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Eco-responsible</strong></span> packaging comprehends recycled and lightweight glass bottles, sustainable caps, labels and boxes.
<strong><span style="color: #99cc00;">Sustainable viticulture</span></strong> makes possible to plant hundreds of trees each year works and to safeguard and protect the bees, its environment and the beekeeping heritage of Languedoc.

<em>"Tired of our respective professional lives, we left everything to pursue a slightly crazy dream: to create wines like us, a little unconventional and offbeat"<strong> - Anthony Aubert &#38; Jean-Charles Mathieu </strong></em>

<span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>Certified Organic Agriculture</strong></span>, AMY is an explosion of red fruit and sweet spices. This juice has a good length. Wine ideal for an outing with friends.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 14.5%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Bright crimson purple.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
Dark cherry, plum and red currant fruit sits alongside more savoury spice notes and an intense red cherry compote.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
Soft around the edges and deliciously drinkable. Old vine Grenache fruit presents itself on the front palate with a juicy red berry intensity while the Mataro and Shiraz add blueberries, ripe lush tannins and a vibrant mineral structure. Hints of white pepper and spice are evident with a soft tannin framework ensuring a supple, dynamic and long finish.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
Full and flavoursome meat dishes are a classic pair and it would work wonderfully with mushroom or pepper sauces.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[The story began with Michel Chapoutier, a unique man with a thirst for knowledge, definitely one of a kind. He seeks to discover and reflect the full potential of his terroirs and let the soils express their true character.
This now forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.

This domain held a twin appeal for M. CHAPOUTIER: a vineyard already converted to organic in Montfrin in Gard county, and a section in Costières de Nîmes, where the company did not yet own vineyards. The first visit to this beautifully-maintained vineyard was promising, and in 2018, a range of appellations – Côtes-du-Rhône, Côtes-du-Rhône Villages, Costières de Nîmes and Pays d’Oc – have been produced.

The vineyard plots are located in the commune of Montfrin. This wine comes from a soil composed of deep red clay and siliceous pebbles of various sizes brought by the sea some several million years ago.
