DESCRIPTION
History
The NSCR (Nouvelle Société de la Côte Radieuse), founded in 2006 in Rivesaltes, specializes in showcasing aged Vins Doux Naturels. Honoring the winemaking heritage of Roussillon, it offers historic vintages of Rivesaltes, Banyuls, and Maury, some dating back to the 1930s. This 1975 Maury Traditionnel embodies the excellence of the appellation, crafted from black schist and marls in the Agly Valley, the emblematic terroir of Grenache. A rare wine, now celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Vinification
Produced according to the traditional Vins Doux Naturels method, Maury is made through mutage—a process invented in the 13th century by Arnau de Vilanova. Fully ripe grapes undergo extended maceration before being fortified with neutral alcohol to preserve their natural sugars. Oxidative aging in old vessels allows the wine to develop the aromatic complexity that defines its uniqueness.
Tasting Notes
Its deep brick-red color preludes an enchanting bouquet of walnut, chocolate, black cherry, black raspberry, and coffee. On the palate, elegance prevails: silky texture, comforting warmth, and a persistent finish of dried fruits and cocoa. A true meditation wine, best enjoyed on its own, yet also pairs wonderfully with chocolate fondant, roasted figs, caramelized walnuts, or a creamy blue cheese.
REGION
Roussillon
France
Rivesaltes is one of the great vins doux naturels of Roussillon. Made mainly from Grenache, Macabeu and Malvoisie, it comes in amber, tawny, garnet and rosé styles. Aged for a long time, old Rivesaltes reveal unique aromas of candied fruit, walnut and rancio, the oxidative note sought by connoisseurs. Alongside them, Muscat de Rivesaltes, with its own AOC since 1956, offers another side, all freshness with scents of grape, citrus and white flowers. Together they form a rare wine heritage, perfect for lovers of wines built to age and historic vintages.
