History
Produced in the heart of the black schists of Maury, this 1982 vintage reflects the generational expertise of the cooperative. After more than forty years of aging, it reveals a rare and refined expression of natural sweet wine.
Vinification
Grenache Noir harvested at high ripeness, with extended maceration. Traditional mutage followed by long oxidative aging in old oak casks.
Tasting Notes
Amber robe with mahogany highlights. Intense nose of toasted dried fruits, bitter cocoa, coffee, and delicate rancio. On the palate, a balance of richness and freshness, with notes of fig, licorice, and gentle spices. The long, silky finish makes it a contemplative wine, ideal with a cigar or a chocolate dessert with hazelnut pieces.

France
Située au cœur du Roussillon, l’appellation Maury s’étend sur des coteaux de schistes noirs qui conservent la chaleur du soleil et offrent au Grenache noir son terroir d’élection. Aux côtés de ce cépage roi, les Grenache gris et Grenache blanc complètent l’encépagement. Ce décor minéral et lumineux donne naissance à des vins doux naturels puissants et expressifs, rouges dans leur grande majorité, mais aussi ambrés ou tuilés.Maury se décline en plusieurs styles. Le Maury Grenat (ou jeune) exprime la gourmandise du fruit, avec des notes intenses de cerise et de mûre. Les Maury Traditionnels et Vieux Maury sont élevés de façon oxydative, révélant des arômes de cacao, de figue, de café et de rancio élégant. Les vieux millésimes, parfois conservés des décennies en fût, sont particulièrement recherchés : ils allient profondeur, complexité et une étonnante fraîcheur qui défie le temps.

This 43-year-old Vieille Réserve is proof of how well it ages—a traditional Maury with aromas of morello cherry and cocoa developed through prolonged oxidative aging.
