DESCRIPTION
History
Since 1910, the Vignerons de Maury cooperative has preserved the tradition of Vins Doux Naturels in the Agly Valley. Rooted in black schist soils swept by the Tramontane wind, its 200 winemakers craft iconic cuvées, including the Vieilles Réserves, true witnesses of time. The 1999 vintage, marked by a year of excellent ripeness, perfectly illustrates the richness and longevity of the appellation.
Vinification
This Maury Traditionnel was produced using the ancestral method: grapes harvested at full ripeness, long maceration on the skins to extract color and body, followed by mutage with grape spirit to preserve the natural sugars. Extended oxidative aging in old casks and barrels developed a complex bouquet dominated by the famed rancio, the signature of great aged Maury wines.
Tasting Notes
Its deep tawny color announces an intense nose of candied black fruits, cocoa, dried fig, walnut, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is broad and warm, combining fruit sweetness with elegant freshness, and a persistent finish of coffee and noble rancio. Ideal with dark chocolate fondant, dried fruit tart, or paired with aged blue cheese. Serve slightly chilled (12–14 °C).
REGION
Toscane
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.
Recommandé pour vous:
This great year (90/100) is fully expressed in this 26-year-old Vieille Réserve—a Maury of good overall quality that reveals notes of morello cherry and roasted coffee.
