DESCRIPTION
History
The 1994 vintage reveals the complexity of the black schist terroirs that have made Maury famous. A Vieille Réserve that follows the tradition of great oxidative sweet wines.
Vinification
Predominantly Grenache Noir, mutaged on the grapes, with oxidative aging for several decades in large casks.
Tasting Notes
Dark robe with mahogany highlights. Elegant nose combining dried fruits, pecans, café crème, and licorice. On the palate, it stands out for its smoothness, persistent freshness, and a long finish with notes of cocoa and noble rancio. An ideal companion to blue cheeses or a rich chocolate dessert.
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.
