This new vintage of Maury Grenat continues to delight! Its sweet, rich flavor and notes of black cherries, candied fruit, and vanilla meld beautifully on the palate. A beautiful, terroir-driven garnet-red wine!

About the estate:

The estate’s origins, spanning six generations, date back to 1864. The property boasts a 25-hectare vineyard spread across diverse terroirs. At the helm since 1989, Pierre and Marie-Claude Fontaneil have been producing wines with strong character—both dry and naturally sweet—for nearly 30 years. In 2017, they sold the estate to a young couple of winemakers, Élodie and Matthieu Collet.
