This 1987 vintage highlights the indulgent character of traditional Maury wines while maintaining a beautiful aromatic balance.
Vinification
Long maceration, mutage to preserve natural sugars, followed by aging in used barrels allowing harmonious oxidative development.
Tasting Notes
Deep tawny robe. Expressive nose of candied cherry, date, and roasted coffee, with a hint of gentle spice. On the palate, supple and round texture, supported by flavors of cocoa, walnut, and candied orange. Ideal with Auvergne blue cheese or dark chocolate truffles.
REGION
Roussillon
France
In the heart of Roussillon, the Maury appellation spreads over black schist slopes that hold the heat of the sun and give Grenache Noir its ideal terroir. Alongside this leading grape, Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc complete the mix. This mineral, luminous setting gives powerful, expressive vins doux naturels, mostly red, but also amber or tawny. Maury comes in several styles. Maury Grenat (or young Maury) shows generous fruit, with intense notes of cherry and blackberry. Maury Traditionnel and Vieux Maury are aged oxidatively, revealing aromas of cocoa, fig, coffee and elegant rancio. Old vintages, sometimes kept for decades in cask, are especially sought after: they combine depth, complexity and an astonishing freshness that defies time.
