Maury traditionnel 1965, NSCR (50cl)
DESCRIPTION
History
The NSCR (Nouvelle Société de la Côte Radieuse), founded in 2006 in Rivesaltes, has established itself as a specialist in old vintages of Vins Doux Naturels. With this Maury Traditionnel 1965, it presents an exceptional vintage, reflecting half a century of history and the black schist terroir of the Agly Valley, the birthplace of Grenache.
Vinification
Made predominantly from Grenache, this wine was crafted using the ancestral method of mutage on the grapes: fermentation is halted by the addition of grape spirit to preserve the natural sweetness of the fruit. This was followed by a long oxidative aging in old foudres and oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop rare and sought-after evolving notes.
Tasting Notes
After sixty years of aging, this Maury reveals a deep brick-red color. The nose combines cocoa, coffee, stewed dark fruits, and dried fruits. On the palate, it is broad and silky, expressing elegance and warmth, with a persistent finish of noble rancio. A wine for meditation, ideal to enjoy with a square of dark chocolate, aged blue cheeses, or as a digestif to mark a special moment.
Region
Roussillon
Le Rivesaltes est l’un des grands vins doux naturels du Roussillon. Issu principalement de Grenache, Macabeu et Malvoisie, il se décline en styles ambrés, tuilés, grenats ou rosés. Vieillis longuement, les vieux Rivesaltes révèlent des arômes uniques de fruits confits, de noix et de rancio, cette note oxydative recherchée par les amateurs. À leurs côtés, le Muscat de Rivesaltes qui dispose de son AOC propre depuis 1956, propose une autre facette tout en fraîcheur et en parfums de raisin, d’agrumes et de fleurs blanches. Ensemble, ils composent un patrimoine viticole rare, parfait pour les amateurs de vins de garde et de millésimes historiques.
