DESCRIPTION

History

The family estate of La Coume du Roy, founded around 1850 and passed down through six generations, preserves one of the greatest treasures of old Maury vintages. The 1939 is a wine of history, a witness to the beginning of World War II. Placed in cask during a troubled era, it has journeyed through more than eight decades to deliver today a unique testimony of time.

Vinification 

Made primarily from Grenache, this Maury Doré was fortified on the skins to preserve its natural sugars before undergoing exceptional oxidative aging in small oak casks and glass demijohns. After 86 years, the angel’s share has shaped a rare wine of remarkable concentration and incomparable intensity.

Tasting Notes

Its deep amber color reflects its great age. The nose reveals notes of cocoa, walnut, and noble rancio, with a touch of roasted coffee. On the palate, it is broad and silky, unveiling profound depth and an endless finish. A wine of meditation par excellence, it pairs beautifully with a fine cigar, a dark chocolate dessert, or aged blue cheeses.

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.
