"Depth and bright reflections for this dense, brilliant garnet, bursting with youth. Intense, straightforward and elegant, the fruit immediately asserts itself, between black cherry and slightly peppery blackcurrant. A superb attack, with fleshy fruit and licorice, opens onto a mid-palate offering great freshness and amplitude, supported by silky tannins. A harmonious, expressive whole". (Guide Hachette 2025)

About the wine:
Depth and bright reflections for this dense, brilliant garnet, bursting with youth. Intense, straightforward and elegant, the fruit immediately asserts itself, between black cherry and slightly peppery blackcurrant. A superb attack, with fleshy fruit and licorice, opens onto a mid-palate offering great freshness and amplitude, supported by silky tannins. A harmonious, expressive whole.
About the domain :
Before setting up his own business in 2002, Daniel Laffite spent 15 years working for a large estate that had been organically farmed since 1972. He then bought part of the property and set up his own winery. Today, he manages 17 ha with his wife Cathy.

About the wine:

About the domain :
Domaine des Soulanes was created in 2002 by Cathy and Daniel Laffite, in the Maury area. The couple had previously worked these same terroirs for over ten years, alongside the previous owner, before acquiring part of the property. The vineyards lie at the foot of the rocky peaks dominated by Château de Queribus. The estate's wines express themselves in a fleshy yet fair, energetic and intense style.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 31/10/2024
At first sight, a Maury that's all fruit and sweetness, without lacking amplitude and depth despite its youthful nature. Then, and more particularly, a harmonious, sensual palate thanks to well-balanced sweetness and very round, rich tannins, bringing out a wide range of savory notes of burlat, strawberry and prune. Long, warm finish with fine cocoa notes in retro-olfaction. Before a Yule log, this Maury was matched with a dark chocolate moelleux, served warm. Score = 4.1.
