The soils of Maury are composed of schist and marl from the Secondary Era, the layered structure of which allows the roots to dig down into the ground to find the moisture they need to feed the vines. The black colour of the soil soaks up the heat during the day and then releases it overnight, thereby helping the grapes to develop very high sugar levels.
Winemaker's note
Maury wines are fortified on the whole grains, meaning that alcohol is added. When this alcohol is added to the fermenting must, the fermentation process stops. The mixture is left to macerate for up to three weeks to achieve optimal extraction of the anthocyans, tannins and flavour, thereby producing wines with great ageing potential.
Tasting notes
Years of breeding have not wrinkled our dashing octogenarian. Its coat is limpid and brilliant, amber with a light brown caramel. On the nose, our Maury reveals a life of maturation and gives us the thread of its existence: intense notes of gingerbread, vanilla and cinnamon are the sign of a colourful vintage and a freshness that is still almost youthful for a wine that is over 80 years old. Notes of candied fruits and cherries in brandy exacerbate this astonishing freshness. The ripeness is then reflected in aromas of blond tobacco, nuts and leather. On the palate, the tannins have completely melted, integrated into the perfect balance between a surprisingly vigorous persistence and the sweet warmth of candied sugar. The fruit is crunchy, the structure taut. The whole exudes harmony, finesse and complexity.
Food and Wine Pairing
Best served with Roquefort cheese, chocolate puddings or fruit.
We found our new favorite poolside sip! La Grande Bleue Méditerranée, an organic wine made with 5 artfully blended grapes, takes us back to this past summer's adventure in Languedoc, France. The crisp taste is perfect to enjoy on what has been an exceptionally hot summer in both Southern California and Southern France! Thank heavens for La Grande Bleue!!
Our family has a tradition of "Laundry Room wine". It is wine of a high caliber that we hide in the laundry room and only tell a select few about. Those who have a discerning appreciation for tasty wines! Blanc Gris quickly became a "laundry room wine' after my husband and I discovered it on our recent vacation to the Languedoc region of France. I brought it to share with my daughter and sister-in-law who greatly appreciated this addition to our Laundry Room Wine List
I love this sparkling wine! I first tasted it on a Carnival Cruise and I have been in love ever since. I do not drink any other alcoholic beverage. I ordered three bottles and will be ordering three more! Order yours today!!! You will not be disapointed!!
I ordered this at a restaurant last summer and finally ordered a few because I couldn't stop thinking about how much I enjoyed it. It Came packaged beautifully!
The wine was smooth yet complex and very satisfying to keep in the mouth for a few swirls. Delightful to know that Gérard Bertrand’s growing methods are sustainable and mindful of taking care of the land.
I am beyond pleased with the wonderful product and amazing service. Shipping was so fast and packaging was strong and secure. So thankful that they shipped my order via UPS. I love the wine. I can’t find this wine in a small town I live close to. Will definitely buy from this company for sure. Highly recommend!
Thank you
I didn’t get what I ordered, I got a sparkling wine instead and I sent an email explaining that and I haven’t received an answer. I want the wine I ordered please.
I can not find this wine locally, but the nearest Costco carries it around Christmas. I think it is the perfect summer wine. It is light and not very sweet; and the bottle is exquisite. I will order again before the summer is over, I am sure.
