DESCRIPTION
History
A witness to nearly half a century of tradition, this 1977 Maury showcases the excellence of the Vignerons de Maury, true guardians of the heritage of sweet natural wines.
Vinification
Predominantly Grenache, long maceration, mutage with wine alcohol. Oxidative aging in old casks enriches the aromatic profile and adds depth and complexity.
Tasting Notes
Deep amber robe. Complex nose of toasted nuts, dates, leather, and spicy notes. The palate is broad and elegant, with remarkable freshness despite its age, supported by flavors of cocoa, coffee, and candied fruits. Persistent and refined finish.
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.
