DESCRIPTION
History
This 1992 vintage illustrates the exceptional longevity of old Maury wines, born on the black schist soils of the Agly Valley and shaped by time.
Vinification
Grenache Noir harvested at optimal ripeness, mutaged during fermentation, then long-aged in oak casks in a traditional oxidative style.
Tasting Notes
Clear mahogany robe. Rich nose of candied fruits, cocoa, licorice, and patinated leather notes. The palate is broad and warm, with flavors of prune, coffee, and walnut. A persistent finish, ideal with a chocolate soufflé or aged Roquefort.
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.
