- Land: Mas Carlot, located in the Costières de Nimes within the Southern Rhône Valley, is managed by Cyril Marès, a seventh-generation winemaker. The estate's 60 hectares feature hillside vineyards characterized by the distinctive rolled pebble soil, a legacy of the ancient Rhône River valley, conducive to organic viticulture.
- Wine: The 2021 Avrevs cuvée is an intriguing orange wine made from an equal blend of Roussanne and Marsanne grapes. The wine undergoes a 10-day maceration with whole berries, followed by a six-month lees aging in amphoras, a method inspired by the discovery of 4th-century amphoras on the estate. This process, eschewing added sulfites, results in a wine with a unique orange hue, crisp minerality, and fresh zesty aromas, complemented by notes of toasted almonds.
- People: Cyril Marès, leveraging the rich history of Mas Carlot and the archaeological finds on its property, has embraced the ancestral technique of amphora aging to craft the Avrevs orange wine. This innovative approach reflects a deep respect for tradition while incorporating sustainable practices to produce a wine that captures the essence of the estate's terroir.
