Robert Parker

“This 2016 vintage, made from Grenache (80%) and Carignan and aged for three months in tanks, exudes authenticity. The nose is a magnificent basket of fruits: wild strawberries, cherries, figs, and blackberries. Centered on intense aromas of licorice and red fruit jam, the palate is just as indulgent, supported by velvety tannins and enlivened by a fresh finish that leaves an impression of elegance and harmony.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

About the wine:

This 2016 vintage, made from Grenache (80%) and Carignan and aged for three months in tanks, exudes authenticity. The nose is a magnificent basket of fruits: wild strawberries, cherries, figs, and blackberries. Centered on intense aromas of licorice and red fruit jam, the palate is equally indulgent, carried by velvety tannins and enlivened by a fresh finish that leaves an impression of elegance and harmony.

About the estate:

Founded in 1910, the Maury wine cooperative is now the oldest in the department still in operation. Following the winegrowers’ revolts of 1907, it brought together more than 130 winegrowers. Today, the winery manages 870 hectares of land owned by its members; it specializes in Grenache, which produces the traditional naturally sweet wines and, since 2011, dry Maury wines.
