Mas des Capitelles?€? workhorse Vieilles Vignes is built on the backs of Mourv??dre (50%) and Carignan (25%) from vines up to 80 years old, with Syrah (25%) completing the blend. After a 30-day maceration with a small proportion of semi-carbonic whole clusters in the fermentation, one-fifth of the cuv??e was aged in oak and four-fifths in fiberglass and enamel vats, with bottling taking place after 14 months. An exuberant nose of blueberries, violets, and warm dust evokes the sun-scorched slopes of the appellation in visceral fashion, and the palate sizzles with an almost spiky minerality, framed by rich but firm blue and black fruits. The balance of refinement and wildness here is extraordinary, with neither trait calling too much attention to itself.
Mas des Capitelles began in 1999, when ninth-generation vigneron Jean Laug?? began bottling his own wine after a lengthy stint at the local co-operative, where his father's a driving force in the creation of the Faug??res appellation in the early 1980's had served as president.
