Domaine Mas Amiel Blanc Maury

This Maury is made in the same style as the rimage wines of Banyuls. From 100% Grenache Noir grown on the south-facing broken schists and marne soils and yields of 25 hl/ha, the grapes are subsequently sorted, destemmed and vinified in the normal way. The alcohol is added while the wine is still in the vat , which slows down the final fermentation, allowing a longer period of maceration and thereby conferring greater richness. This Maury is ruby with violet tints and the nose eloquently expresses framboise, cherry and crème-de-cassis. It is smooth in the mouth, the red fruits reinforced by bitter chocolate and spice as well as fine tannins. (6 x 75 cl)

Maury lies in a valley to the east of Perpignan in the Roussillon. Here fortified wines are made from Grenache Noir, Grenache Gris and Carignan grapes. The wine is selected from 500 litres barrels that have lain undisturbed, apart from the occasional drawing, since the early days of the Co-operative. To produce this wine Gerard Gauby has tasted all the barrels and then 450 bottles are drawn from each barrel selected, and bottled by hand without fining or filtration. Next the barrels are topped up with the latest vintage so that each barrel has a different character; those with the highest volatility holding the greatest interest. This has produced a dark, aged, richly aromatic fortified wine. This tawny-brown confection is immensely rich and chocolatey, with complex, aged characters and undertones of spices, coffee and candied fruits.
