Pays d'Oc IGP Amy 2024 Aubert et Mathieu

What kind of wine is it?

Amy by Aubert et Mathieu is an organic red wine from the Pays d’Oc in southern France, made from Grenache and Syrah. Traditional winemaking, with a long maceration and aging in concrete vats without wood, keeps the fruit clear and recognizable. The palate is fresh and smooth, with a noticeable but not heavy structure and crisp tannins that offer a lively progression and a clean finish.

Where does it come from?

This wine is produced in the south of France, in the Pays d’Oc, where Grenache and Syrah grow on clay-limestone soils. This environment supports a profile in which the intensity of the fruit remains in the foreground, accompanied by perceptible freshness and a precise tannic texture. The result is a direct expression of the territory, with light spicy notes and a Mediterranean character that is clearly evident in the glass.

How is it made?

Grenache and Syrah grapes are processed using a traditional approach, which involves a three-week maceration on the skins to extract color, aromas, and tannic structure. After racking, the wine is aged for six months in concrete vats, a choice that shapes the profile without wood influence. The goal is to offer a sunny yet balanced structure, with focused fruit and immediate drinkability.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows a ruby color with velvety highlights. The nose reveals cherry and strawberry, followed by violet and delicate spices. On the palate, the structure is vibrant and well-defined, with crisp and slightly peppery tannins supporting the development. The overall sensation is one of freshness and length, with a fresh and defined finish.

Pairings

At the table, it pairs well with flavorful and convivial dishes, as its freshness and tannins cleanse the palate and complement grilled preparations. It goes well with barbecue ribs, fried sweet potatoes, and truffle pizza, where the bright fruit and fresh finish balance richness and aromatics.

When to serve it

It's an ideal choice when you’re looking for an organic red with a clean, fruity profile, perfect for an informal dinner or an outdoor lunch. The absence of wood and aging in concrete make it suitable for both short- and medium-term consumption, keeping freshness, aromatic definition, and smooth drinkability in the spotlight, with present but non-aggressive tannins.
