DESCRIPTION
History
A sunny vintage resulting in a wine of great intensity, typical of long-aging Maury Tuilés.
Vinification
Grapes harvested at high ripeness, mutaged with grape spirit, followed by extended aging in casks, enhancing notes of rancio and spices.
Tasting Notes
Dark robe with mahogany highlights. Powerful nose of bitter cocoa, blond tobacco, coffee, and prune. On the palate, richness and structure blend with flavors of dried fruits, leather, and licorice. The persistent finish pairs perfectly with a chocolate fondant or aged Parmesan.
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.
