"The Maury Hecht & Bannier 2010 is surprisingly fruity for a wine of this appellation, highlighted by notes of strawberry and raspberry, with roasted, resinous and crushed-stone accents. With 90g of residual sugar, it's very balanced by appellation standards, i.e. not too sweet or sticky. Enjoy it until 2017, or longer." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2016 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Grégory Hecht and François Bannier have brought a breath of fresh air to the region, specializing from the outset, in 2002, in an ambitious and original quality trade. Carefully selecting their grapes from all around the Mediterranean, from Roussillon to Provence, they vinify and mature ambitious cuvées that often ring true. Every year, they visit several hundred estates to select only the finest grapes and juices, most often from hillside vineyards.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2015 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About the wine:
Established ten years ago in Aix-en-Provence, this wine merchant's ambition is to promote the richness and quality of Mediterranean wines: its activities encompass vineyard selection, blending and ageing. For this maury, the emphasis is on preserving fruit and finesse. At once supple, tender and fresh, the wine reveals aromas of bigarreau cherry over a silky, mellow tannic structure, subtly spiced. A maury to be drunk chilled, as an aperitif or on toast with blue-veined cheese.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté (guide 2016) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Grégory Hecht and François Bannier continue their wine merchant-ageing business specializing in wines from the Mediterranean arc (Languedoc, Roussillon and Provence), giving a salutary injection of youth to a region lacking initiatives of this kind. The selection is rigorous, with a precise, aromatic style that intelligently dispenses with the influence of new wood. While we salute the work accomplished and the consistency of the most ambitious cuvées, with Faugères and Saint-Chinian among the best in their respective appellations, the range also shows some weaknesses.
