Description:
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.
