2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

"Grenache is the king grape of the valley and of Maury's winegrowers; all their know-how is concentrated in this stunning cuvée, a beautiful deep red, with a deep, elegant nose of black fruit, cocoa and liquorice. A fresh attack opens onto a full, lively, very elegant and expressive palate (notes of Zan, jammy black fruit), with silky tannins and a long, saline finish. A real treat.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (2019 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))

About the domain :

A number of very successful vintages from this cooperative, a key player in this appellation due to its size and local influence. While we wait for a new generation of winemakers to do even more justice to the terroir, let's salute the almost unrivalled value for money.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (2019 guide) 2*Favorite (Outstanding wine)

Domaine noté (guide 2019) Awarded wines (Wines from this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the wine:

Grenache is the king of the valley and of the Maury winegrowers, and all their know-how is concentrated in this stunning cuvée, a beautiful deep red with a deep, elegant nose of black fruit, cocoa and liquorice. A fresh attack opens onto a full, lively, very elegant and expressive palate (notes of Zan, jammy black fruit), with silky tannins and a long, saline finish. A real treat.

About the domain :

Founded in 1910, the Maury cooperative winery is the oldest still in operation in the department. After the winegrowers' revolts of 1907, it brought together over 130 owners. Today, the cellar has 870 hectares of its members' land at its disposal, and makes its living from the Grenache grapes that produce the traditional vins doux naturels and, since 2011, dry maury.
