Description
In a nutshell:
A rich, dark and spicy French red from the northern Roussillon.
The lowdown:
The appellation of Maury in the Roussillon of South West France, just west of Perpignan, has for decades produced some of the best 'vin doux natural' sweet wines in France. Whilst still dry wine has been made there forever it was only in 2011 that they were officially allowed to label it Maury Sec, and while the production is still pretty small these dark and deep reds have gained a reputation as some of the best full-bodied reds in France. A blend of 80% old vine Grenache from the Soleilla vineyard perched high on the black schist steep terraced slopes of the Valleé d'Agly and 20% Carignan from 100 year old vines on the summit of the plateau. Dark and rich aromas of kirsch, blackberry and plum enhanced with notes of garrigue, rosemary and fennel. Full-bodied on the rounded palate with firm tannins, fresh acidity and notes of cassis and dark chocolate joining those ripe fruit flavours.
The Producer:
Terres Fidèles , helmed by Master of Wine Fergal Tynan, is based in Roussillon and they excel at crafting small batch wines, sourced from choice vineyards stretching from the Pyrenean foothills to the Mediterranean coastline. Their ethos is all about showcasing the authentic character of the region's key grape varieties. In particular, they lean into the natural aromatics and brightness of the grapes, steering clear of over-extraction. Above all their wines deliver superb value without compromising on quality.
When to drink:
Perfect with something like a mixed grill or any big red meat dish. Still young so try decanting before serving and will also have capacity to age through this decade.
Suitable for Vegans
