The Bourrel family inaugurated this solera of overripe, old-vine Macabeu grapes in 2005. Grapes are harvested by hand and placed into the first of three barrels, where they slowly ferment to dryness. Subsequent elevage in the partially-filled barrels creates an oxidative environment.
Bottled at an average of six years of age, the ‘Démon de Midi’ (noonday demon) takes on notes of almond, garrigue honey and leather, with a touch of salt emerging at the finish.
Extremely versatile, the wine can be enjoyed as an aperitif; with all manner of tapas and cheeses; and as a digestif. Shelf-stable, it should be served lightly chilled or at cellar temperature.
About Mas Peyre
About Mas Peyre
Mas Peyre is a true family affair. After 20 years as a pillar of the local cooperative, the Bourrel family departed and founded their own domaine in 2003. Claire manages the business and the shop, while Gerard tends the vineyards. Their sons Baptiste and César handle the winemaking and marketing, respectively. Based in Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, on the western edge of the upper Agly Valley, the Bourrels now farm nearly 40 hectares and celebrated their 10th anniversary by completing conversion to organic viticulture in 2013. Vineyards in Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet (black schist and marl) and further west in Prugnares (argile-calcaire) range from 250-400 meters in altitude, balancing warm days with cool nights, preserving freshness in their wines. From these, the Bourrels produce a range of vivacious, organic wine, including their Maury "Rage du Soleil" and Rancio sec "Le Démon de Midi."
