DESCRIPTION
History
Born from a harvest conducted over forty years ago, this vintage exemplifies the exceptional longevity of natural sweet wines. The schist terroir, combined with cooperative expertise, gives the wine remarkable intensity.
Vinification
After a manual harvest, mutage preserves the natural sugars. Extended aging in old casks has shaped a rich personality, with elegant oxidative nuances.
Tasting Notes
Dark robe with tile-colored reflections. Refined nose of dried fig, roasted coffee, and orange peel. On the palate, silky and full, combining candied fruits, gentle spices, and a touch of noble rancio. A long finish, perfect with a chocolate dessert or a tart of dried fruits.
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.
