DESCRIPTION
History
A vintage marked by relatively cool conditions, the 1991 offers a more delicate style, showcasing the century-old expertise of the Vignerons de Maury.
Vinification
Long maceration on the skins, mutage to create a natural sweet wine, followed by extended oxidative aging in old oak barrels.
Tasting Notes
Deep tawny robe. Refined nose of candied cherry, dried fig, gentle spices, and a balsamic touch. On the palate, a subtle balance between sweetness and freshness, with an elegant finish featuring notes of toasted hazelnut. Perfect with a fig tart or aged sheep’s cheese.
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.
