DESCRIPTION
History
Fifty years of history in a bottle… Born in a sunny vintage, this 1975, aged for several decades, exemplifies the power and complexity of traditional Maury. The Vignerons de Maury carry forward a craft passed down through generations.
Vinification
Long maceration of the grapes, followed by mutage and oxidative aging in old casks, allowing aromas of dried fruits, spices, and coffee to develop harmoniously.
Tasting Notes
Deep amber robe with copper highlights. Intense nose of candied fruits, cocoa, and mocha. The palate is broad and velvety, revealing caramel, prune, and a hint of rancio. A wine that delights both at the table and as a gift for a special occasion.
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.
