DESCRIPTION
History
A historic vintage, marked by the balance between Mediterranean warmth and the cool nighttime air of the Agly schists. The Vignerons de Maury present here a Vieille Réserve of timeless charm.
Vinification
Natural sweet wine produced by mutage, then aged in old casks in an oxidative style, the signature of aged Maury Tuilés.
Tasting Notes
Deep robe with copper highlights. Complex aromas of dried fruits, dates, gingerbread, and soft balsamic notes. On the palate, generous structure, remarkable balance, and an endless finish with notes of walnut, spices, and coffee. Best enjoyed slowly, either as a digestif or paired with an Auvergne blue 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.
