France - Maury

         

Lying back from the Roussillon plain, the Maury terroir benefits from a geology (Schist and Clay-calcareous)which allows it to create robust wines of exceptional taste. The Maury wines fro the Domain come from vines situated in the heart of the commune of Maury. The Domain also owns vines in Latour de France Appelation, a part if which were planted in 1901. They produce a red wine of rare complexity. Paul, the grandfather, was born in 1909. A pioneer of Maury and a tireless defender of the legislation for A.O.C. Robert, the grandson and present owner of the Domain, is carrying on the tradition with a growing program close to nature, respecting the soil, biological diversity and the ecosystem.
