DESCRIPTION

History

Born in the heart of the Agly Valley, the Vignerons de Maury cooperative has been preserving the art of Vins Doux Naturels since 1910. The 2002 vintage, less sunny than its neighboring years, reveals a beautiful harmony between concentration and freshness. On the iconic black schist soils of the appellation, this Maury Vieille Réserve expresses a rare balance that captivates lovers of complex and refined wines.

Vinification

Harvested at full ripeness, the grapes undergo traditional maceration on the skins to extract color and body. Fermentation is halted by mutage, preserving the natural sweetness of the grapes. Oxidative aging takes place in old oak barrels, where subtle evaporation and micro-oxygenation refine the tannins and develop the renowned noble rancio typical of great Maury wines.

Tasting Notes

The tawny robe with mahogany highlights announces a wine of character. The nose reveals intense aromas of figs, prunes, cocoa, and sweet spices, supported by hints of toasted walnuts. On the palate, breadth and velvety texture dominate, balanced by persistent freshness. The finish is long and warm, extending the charm of this vintage. Ideal with a walnut tart, a dark chocolate dessert, or creamy Roquefort. Serve between 12 and 14 °C.

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.
