Pays d'Oc IGP Amy 2024 Aubert et Mathieu

What kind of wine is it

Amy by Aubert et Mathieu is a red wine from Pays d’Oc in the south of France, made from Grenache and Syrah. Traditional vinification, with a long maceration and aging in concrete vats without wood, keeps the fruit precise and recognizable. The taste is fresh and smooth, with a structure that's present but not heavy, and crisp tannins that provide dynamic progression and a clean finish.

Where it comes from

This wine originates 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 fruit intensity takes center stage, accompanied by noticeable freshness and an accurate tannic texture. The result is a straightforward expression of the terroir, with light spicy notes and a clear Mediterranean touch in the glass.

How it's produced

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

Tasting notes

In the glass, it appears ruby with velvety highlights. The nose reveals cherry and strawberry, followed by violet and gentle spice. On the palate, the structure is radiant and well-defined, with crisp and slightly peppery tannins that support the development. The overall sensation is one of freshness and length, with a lively and precise finish.

Food pairing

On the table, it pairs well with flavorful, sociable dishes, as its freshness and tannins cleanse the palate and complement grilled preparations. It is recommended with barbecue ribs, fried sweet potatoes, and truffle pizza, where the pure fruit and fresh finish balance richness and aromas.

Serving occasions

It's a great choice when looking for a red wine with a clear, fruity profile, ideal for casual dinners or outdoor lunches. The absence of wood and the aging in concrete make it suitable for short- to medium-term consumption, maintaining freshness, aromatic definition, and an easy-drinking style with present but non-aggressive tannins.
