DESCRIPTION
History
Founded around 1850, Domaine de La Coume du Roy has embodied the soul of the great natural sweet wines of Roussillon for six generations. This 1932 vintage, one of the oldest preserved in the family cellars, predates the upheavals of history. Each sip offers a journey of more than 90 years, shaped by the patience and expertise of a family safeguarding treasures.
Vinification
Made from Grenache, this Maury Doré was vinified by mutage on the skins to preserve the grape’s natural sweetness. It then underwent long oxidative aging in old oak casks and glass demijohns, where slow evaporation—the “angel’s share”—concentrated its intensity and forged its inimitable character.
Tasting Notes
Its amber color with mahogany highlights announces rare depth. The nose opens with aromas of walnut, dried fruits, and cocoa, lifted by notes of coffee and noble rancio. On the palate, it unfolds with velvety richness, balanced by surprising freshness for its age. The long, persistent finish makes it an ideal wine for meditation, to be savored on its own or paired with chocolate desserts, candied fruits, or powerful blue cheeses.
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.
