"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).

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 greater justice to the terroir, let's salute the almost unrivalled value for money.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2019) Awarded wines (Wines from this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
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.
