DESCRIPTION
History
Since 1910, the Vignerons de Maury cooperative has embodied the soul of this Roussillon appellation. Located in the heart of the Agly Valley on sun-drenched black schist soils, it brings together 200 winemakers and produces the finest expressions of Maury. This 2005 vintage, classified as a “Vieille Réserve,” showcases the cooperative’s unique expertise, renowned for its long and patient aging that enhances the Grenache.
Vinification
Made primarily from Grenache harvested at high ripeness, this natural sweet wine was produced using the traditional method: long maceration on the skins, mutage with grape spirit to preserve the natural sugars, followed by extended oxidative aging in old barrels and casks. After nearly twenty years of maturation, the wine develops rare nuances of noble rancio, combining depth and complexity.
Tasting Notes
Its deep tawny color announces a wine of character. The nose captivates with intense aromas of candied black and red fruits, prune, cocoa, coffee, and toasted dried fruits. On the palate, it is perfectly balanced between richness, sweetness, and freshness, supported by a long, warm finish. Best enjoyed with dark chocolate fondant, walnut tart, aged Comté, or game birds. 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:
Overall a very successful year in the South (93/100), this 20-year-old Vieille Réserve confirms the excellence of the vintage—a Maury with aromas of candied black fruits and a lingering finish.
