Guide to the Best Wines of France - French Wine Review 2024: 96

Crafted from a blend of Grenache Noir vintages aged for over 40 years in oxidative conditions, this cuvée transports you into the deeply expressive world of rancio. It’s an aromatic voyage—intense, meditative, and multidimensional—where time and terroir converge in perfect harmony.

TASTING NOTES:

Magnificent mahogany robe. Aromas of walnut, fig, and date meld with notes of dark tobacco. The finish lingers with a striking bitterness of orange peel—long, persistent, and memorable. A great Maury, marked by rustic freshness and remarkable depth.

FOOD PAIRINGS:

This wine, with its bright, age-defying freshness, pairs beautifully with Pata Negra, blue cheeses like Roquefort, or simply savoured on its own for the pleasure of the journey. Open one hour before serving at 15°C.

TERROIR VINE MANAGeMENT :

South-facing slopes of decomposed schist and black marl. Soils are regularly tilled. Goblet-trained vines over 40 years old. Average yield: 18 hl/ha. Planting density: 3,500–4,000 vines/ha.

GRAPE VARIETIES

90 % Grenache noir, 5% Maccabeu, 5% Carignan

GRAPE HARVEST :

Manual harvest. Double sorting and destemming.

WINEMAKING:

Extra alcohol is added during the fermentation while the wine is still on the skins (mutage sur grains), and then the whole is allowed to macerate for 30 days to extract the aromas and polyphenols from the grapes, ensuring a nice balance of fruit, alcohol and sugar.

MATURATION AND BOTTLING :

One year in glass demijohns outdoors under the sun, followed by ageing in old 350-hl oak casks for at least 40 years. This exceptionally long ageing, a true Mas Amiel signature, allows the wine to develop profound aromatic maturity and structural depth.

GUARD TIME:

Unlimited

JANCIS ROBINSON

40 Years of Age

The difficulty with writing about a wine like this is that it's so complex, there is so much there, the flavours and aromas keep emerging, whirling, whorling, rising and falling, that the tasting note either becomes a shopping list of flavours or a metaphor to snapshot capture the essence of the wine. I'll give you the shopping list, although it's more like a kaleidoscope in the mouth: cherry, cigar, ginger snaps, smoked pecans, marmalade, marmelo. Quince and candied peel. Dried apricots. Incredible texture, scrunched silk and tissue paper on stone. Masses of souk spices and pomegranate and oh my god this just goes on and on and on. No end in sight… And I'll give you the metaphor: watch an African sunrise. Even if it's on YouTube. But if you've ever actually sat on a rock, just before dawn – the smell of last-night's heat and campfire, today's cold-dawn dust and acacia trees held still in the milk-blue pause before the light breaks the horizon – you will know exactly what this wine is like.

40 Years of Age

The latest release of the NV Maury 40 Ans features high-toned, walnut-like aromas and notes of maple syrup. Yet it's surprisingly drinkable, being only medium to full-bodied, with moderate sugar levels and hints of mocha and ripe citrus on the long, long finish.

UNE MÉTHODE DE VINIFICATION UNIQUE

Nos Vins Doux Naturels Oxydatifs, issus de vieux Grenaches mutés sur grains, passent un an à ciel ouvert dans des bonbonnes de verre exposées au soleil et aux amplitudes thermiques du Roussillon, avant de poursuivre leur lente évolution pendant des décennies dans des foudres centenaires.

Vinification vins doux

L'ACCORD PARFAIT AVEC LE CHOCOLAT & LE FROMAGE

Les oxydatifs s’accordent à merveille avec les mets aux saveurs sucrées, tels que les desserts ou le chocolat, révélant toute leur richesse aromatique.

Grâce à la signature unique des grenaches du domaine, ces vins conservent une fraîcheur, une acidité et une tension remarquables, qui viennent s'équilibrer harmonieusement.

Les notes de rancio, issues de l’oxydation naturelle des vins, ouvrent également la porte à des accords plus audacieux, tels que les fromages affinés, la noix ou le café, pour des expériences gustatives à la fois profondes et raffinées.

PARCELLES, CÉPAGES & TERROIR

90 % Grenache noir, 5% Maccabeu, 5% Carignan

Les sols, constitués de schistes décomposés et de marnes noires, profitent d’une exposition plein sud qui favorise une maturité optimale des raisins. Leur entretien est assuré par un travail soigné du sol, principalement par le labour. Les vignes de Grenache, âgées de plus de quarante ans et conduites en gobelet, offrent un rendement moyen de 18 hl/ha, avec une densité de plantation comprise entre 3 500 et 4 000 pieds par hectare.
