DESCRIPTION
History
This 1925 vintage celebrates its centenary in 2025. A true witness to another era, it embodies the memory of the Maury vineyard and the heritage of the Bachelet family, guardians of Domaine La Coume du Roy since the 19th century. These old Maury wines are “revealing secrets”: wines capable of transcending time and moving the soul with their intensity.
Vinification
Made exclusively from Grenache, this natural sweet wine was crafted using the traditional method of mutage on the skins, which preserves the grapes’ natural sugars and aromatic richness. After a long maceration, it underwent extended oxidative aging in old wood and glass demijohns, developing a noble rancio of rare depth. A hundred years of patience have shaped a nectar of extraordinary complexity.
Tasting Notes
Its dark mahogany hue, verging on amber, heralds remarkable aromatic power. The nose reveals evolved aromas of dried fruits, roasted coffee, caramel, and walnut, carried by the rancio typical of great Maury wines. On the palate, smoothness and depth combine in a persistent, captivating finish. More than a wine, this 1925 is a piece of heritage: a rare tasting experience to offer or to share as a suspended moment in history.
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.
