History
The NSCR (Nouvelle Société de la Côte Radieuse), founded in 2006 in Rivesaltes, specializes in preserving and showcasing old vintages of Vins Doux Naturels from Roussillon. Through rare cuvées, it highlights the exceptional heritage of Maury, an iconic appellation in the Pyrénées-Orientales, renowned for its powerful, long-aging wines.
Vinification
Made predominantly from Grenache Noir grown on the schist and marl soils of Maury, this 1970 vintage is the result of mutage on the grapes, preserving the natural sugars of the fruit. After prolonged maceration, the wine aged in old foudres and demijohns, gradually developing refined oxidative notes. Over fifty years of aging have shaped a wine that is both rich and exceptionally elegant.
Tasting Notes
Its dark, brick-hued color announces the complexity of a wine at full maturity. The nose opens with aromas of walnut, chocolate, and coffee, lifted by black cherry and candied raspberry. On the palate, it is broad and silky, combining warmth and balance, with a luscious thread of figs, dried fruits, and cocoa. A wine for meditation, ideal with a dark chocolate cake, aged blue cheeses, or simply to be savored on its own, reflecting half a century of history.
Italie
La Toscane est la troisième région la plus plantée d'Italie (derrière la Sicile et les Pouilles) mais elle est huitième en termes de production, ce qui reflète à la fois la pauvreté du sol toscan et les efforts délibérés pour limiter les rendements et augmenter la qualité du vin. Après le Piémont et la Vénétie, la Toscane produit le troisième plus grand volume de vins DOC/DOCG. Plus de 80 % de la production de la région est constituée de vins rouges, le Sangiovese étant le cépage le plus répandu en Toscane. Le Chianti, le Chianti Classico, le Brunello di Montalcino, le Vino Nobile di Montepulciano et le Super Tuscan sont les vins les plus connus de la Toscane. Le Trebbiano est le principal cépage blanc de la région.
