Un Grain de Folie is a dry rosé from Marc Castan of Domaine Mamaruta, made from 60% Syrah, 30% Carignan, and 10% Macabeu grown on the Aude littoral in the Fitou Maritime zone. The vineyards sit between La Palme and Leucate, on soils ranging from clay-limestone to rolled pebbles bordering the La Palme saltwater lagoon. At 11% ABV, this is a deliberately light, high-acid expression of a warm Mediterranean site — the result of early harvesting to preserve freshness and natural acidity.
In the cellar, grapes are directly pressed with a light 12-hour settling, then fermented spontaneously with native yeasts and aged for six months on the lees in fiberglass vats. The wine is bottled unfined, unfiltered, with no added sulfites. The Vin de France designation allows Marc the flexibility to blend across varieties outside the stricter rules of Fitou AOC.
The nose leads with small red berries — strawberry, raspberry — alongside a faint herbal, garrigue note typical of the Corbières maritimes. The palate is dry and juicy with brisk acidity and a light, almost crunchy texture from the Carignan. The Macabeu adds a subtle floral lift and keeps the finish clean and refreshing.
