TASTING

Magnificent mahogany colour. Walnut, fig and date blend with dark tobacco. The finish is long and memorable, ending with notes of bitter orange. A very fine Maury with rustic freshness.

PERFECT MATCHES

This forty-year-old wine, with its rustic freshness, can be enjoyed with Pata Negra ham, blue cheeses such as Roquefort, or on its own for the pleasure of the journey. Open one hour before serving and serve at 15°C.

PARCELS, GRAPE VARIETIES & TERROIR

90% Grenache Noir, 5% Maccabeu, 5% Carignan
Decomposed schist and black marl, south-facing. Soil maintenance by ploughing. The Grenache vines, trained using the gobelet method, are over 40 years old. The average yield is 18 hl/ha with planting densities of 3,500 to 4,000 vines/ha.

VINIFICATION & MATURING

Fortification on the skins followed by 30 days of maceration to extract the substance contained in the berries and achieve a balanced structure between fruit, alcohol and sugar.
Aged for one year in glass demijohns placed outside, then in 350 hl oak casks. This ageing process is the true signature of Mas Amiel.

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.

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.
