DESCRIPTION
History
This 1974 reflects both its era and its terroir: the black schist soils of Maury, elevated by Grenache. Over forty years of patient aging have produced a wine of memory, perfect for lovers of rare vintages.
Vinification
Grapes harvested at full maturity, followed by mutage and prolonged oxidative aging. Time spent in old casks shapes the texture and enriches the aromatic bouquet.
Tasting Notes
Deep tawny robe. Complex nose with notes of fig, date, leather, and sweet spices. The palate is smooth and long, marked by flavors of dried fruits and coffee. An ideal bottle to celebrate a vintage anniversary.
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.
