Maury Sec
Protected to the north by the Corbières mountain range and to the south by the rugged foothills of the Pyrenees, the vineyards of Maury is a natural corridor 17 km long and 4 km wide. Of the 1,000 hectares of black earth in the appellation zone (Aptian schist, non-metamorphic and often decomposed), 90% is planted with Grenache noir, complemented by Carignan, Syrah, Mourvèdre and sometimes Lledoner Pelut.

Mas Amiel - Maury sec Oiseau Rare 2022
5/5 (1 review)
92/100 RVF
-
92/100 Bettane & Desseauve
"A wine soared with rain, rocks and roses. It fills the mouth vertically, then broadly, like choral music filling the high vault of a cathedral. The delicate dryness of the tannins brings breath and pauses, increasing the tension and lengthening the echo of its harmonies. A wine of great purity and determination". (Jancis Robinson 2023)
Domaine des Soulanes - Maury sec Les Salines 2022
4/5 (1 review)
93/100 RVF
"The dry maury Les Salines 2022, a plot selection composed of grenache and carignan, is a very fine wine for laying down, powerful, with thick tannins, but remaining digestible, with a beautiful underlying dynamism and very fair fruit." (Le Guide RVF 2025)
Mas Amiel - Maury sec Initial 2019
4.2/5 (4 reviews)
87/100 Robert Parker
"A blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Carignan and 10% Syrah aged in vats, Maury Sec Initial 2019 presents scents of crushed stone and black fruits on the nose. It's medium- to full-bodied, structured, with dusty tannins and a somewhat crisp finish. It could improve over the coming year, but should be drunk by 2025." (Wine Advocate 2021)
Mas Amiel - Maury Sec Légende 2020
4.1/5 (10 reviews)

-
89/100 Decanter
"Légende is a spicy expression with notes of candied cherry and fresh almond, the palate is luscious and full-bodied". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF). This cuvée lives up to its name. Its broad aromatic palette and complex structure on the palate make it a wine of legend. Close your eyes and discover all its subtleties!
Terres Plurielles - Maury Sec Borée 2017
3.3/5 (3 reviews)
88-90/100 Robert Parker
"The Maury Sec Borée 2017 is a blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Carignan and 10% Syrah, all aged in vats. For its build (14.5% alcohol), it's incredibly crisp and structured, without harshness or over-extraction, with layers of red fruit and a hint of herbs and resins." (Wine Advocate 2019)
Domaine Fontanel - Arrels 2018
3.7/5 (3 reviews)
16/20 RVF
"Straightforwardness sets the tone for this red, dominated by Grenache with liberated fruit. Still in its seductive tannic gangue, it draws its tension from a minty freshness on the finish. This more agile finish lifts the wine as a whole". (La Revue du Vin de France - June 2020) Late-harvested grapes bring fruit and concentration.
Domaine Fontanel - Maury Sec rouge 2016
3.5/5 (13 reviews)

90/100 Robert Parker
"Élodie and Matthieu Collet have followed in Pierre and Marie-Claude Fontaneil's footsteps in a very fine way, producing wines that have lost none of their personality. Here, they offer a superb vinification of Grenache Noir and Mourvèdre in vats. Brilliant, with an intense purple color, this 2016 presents a seductive nose of redcurrant, blueberry and pepper, evolving towards toast and leather. The palate is greedy, full-bodied and delicious, underpinned by a powerful yet velvety tannic structure with a fine, elegant grain. Great ageing potential in prospect". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019)
Les Vignerons de Tautavel Vingrau - Maury Sec Rocher des Buis 2015
3.5/5 (11 reviews)
91-94/100 Robert Parker

Cité Hachette
"Another fine wine, the 2015 Maury Sec Rocher des Buis, with 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah. Made from very old vines and low yields, it offers full-bodied, ripe and decadent notes of plums, berry fruit, spices and peppery herbs. It's going to be great on youth and I think it'll be well above 2014." (Wine Advocate 2017 - Jeb Dunnuck) Unquestionable value for money!
Vignerons de Maury - Tradition Schiste Maury sec 2017
3.7/5 (19 reviews)
2*Étoiles Hachette
-
89/100 Robert Parker
"A dominant Grenache noir grape variety, aged in vats for this fresh-fruit gem. While blackcurrant buds dominate the nose, the rich, round and fresh palate evokes ripe, tasty black cherry, before a spicy finish." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019)
Vignerons de Maury - L'Akmé Maury Sec 2016
4/5 (15 reviews)
93/100 Robert Parker
"Akmé Maury sec 2016 is exclusively aged in concrete tanks. From a blend of 70% Grenache Noir and 30% Syrah, this wine is the perfect example of what this black schist terroir can produce. It's full-bodied and concentrated, the tannins are supple, the texture creamy; and also the structure has a fine grain, and is built on notes of shale stone chips. A surge of cherry and peppery spice aromas that linger on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker) Delivery in wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery method).

-
87-89/100 Robert Parker
"This 2016 born of grenache (80%) and carignan, spent three months in vat, exudes sincerity. The nose is a magnificent basket of fruit: wild strawberry, cherry, fig, blackberry. Centered on intense aromas of licorice and jammy red fruits, the palate is just as gourmand, carried by velvety tannins and energized by a fresh finish that leaves an impression of elegance and harmony". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)
Vignerons de Maury - Nature de Schiste Maury Sec 2014
4/5 (1 review)
Médaille d'Or Concours Paris
Nature de Schiste, or how to produce a cuvée de terroir. This blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan reveals all the freshness and breed of Roussillon's schist soils. A juice of great fruit concentration and remarkable roundness.
