"A very well-balanced wine (RVF)"

“The 2022 Les Salines dry Maury, a single-vineyard selection made from Grenache and Carignan, is a beautiful, powerful wine with aging potential; it has rich tannins yet remains easy to drink, with a lovely underlying vibrancy and perfectly balanced fruit.” (Le Guide RVF 2025)

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

The 2022 Les Salines dry Maury, a single-vineyard selection made from Grenache and Carignan, is a beautiful, full-bodied wine with aging potential—powerful, with dense tannins, yet still easy to drink—featuring a lovely underlying vibrancy and perfectly balanced fruit.

About the estate:

Domaine des Soulanes was founded in 2002 by Cathy and Daniel Laffite in the Maury region. The couple had previously worked these same vineyards for more than ten years alongside the former owner before acquiring a portion of the estate. The vineyards are located at the foot of the rocky peaks dominated by the Château de Queribus. The estate’s wines are full-bodied yet balanced, energetic, and intense.

Review and comment by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 11/20/2024

A wine of character, the Les Salines cuvée has impressed with its steady improvement in quality over recent vintages. The soft, fresh attack gives way to a sunny, full-bodied palate where the power, energy, and crisp fruitiness of black cherry and blackberry express themselves unreservedly, interwoven with spicy notes and an underlying earthy touch. The firm yet silky texture of the tannins imparts a pleasant sensation of body and smoothness. The mineral terroir is reflected in the subtle saline tension of the finish. A fine wine for aging, though it can be enjoyed now—for example, paired with Catalan-style oven-roasted milk-fed lamb saddle (with rancio and cognac sauce) and white rice. Rating: 4.1.
