Mineralistic and spicy on the nose, with a hint of cherries and maybe even a bit of varnish. Tastes of dark chocolate and raspberries with a slight chalkiness. Medium to full bodied. Still young with strong tannins. — 7 years ago
At its best, I’ve always found Grenache has the ability to achieve an elegance and purity matched by few other Mediterranean grapes. This Maury Sec accomplishes just that - a wine with a cooling berry flavor of length and transparency. Heady, with subtle blue notes and a piney, fresh garden herbaceousness - it captivates with its tranquil breadth and high-toned finish. 80% Grenache, 20% Carignan. — 8 years ago

Oxidised wine. Spends one year in demijohns in the sun, and then goes to large old oak casks.
Nose: Great subtlety here, very gentle, black berries, cherry liquor, dried figs
Palate: very gentle and delicate, very very soft tannins, very subtle and coalesced aromas, almost seem not alcoholic; interesting aftertaste of cherries with cane sugar and caramel.

I’m baaaaaaaack! Well worth the wait for 9 months. Lovely orange wine, fortified nose, honey, oxidized palette, bomb with raclette — 8 years ago
Exotic and potent, with a label that would make Gianni Versace proud. Opens with a peculiar and foreign attitude, but offers a bouquet of wildflowers encased in red licorice, and wears newly stitched racing jacket. Certainly polished, but there’s no mistaking where this is from... the red dirt bursts from the glass. — 8 years ago

Oxidised wine. Spends one year in demijohns in the sun, and then goes to large old oak casks.
Nose: not as smoky as the previous one, more fruity and subtle. More complexity here, figs, peppemint.
Palate: Very gentle and smooth tannins, sweeter than the previous one, very good acidity, good balance of all components, much more complex, bit more sugary, cane sugar

Fragile - I don't believe it’s pronounced frah-ghee-lay - has a big, bright nose full of big, bright red fruit. A bit of heat pokes its head through, too, owing to the 15% alcohol content. That cherry-red fruit comes through on the palate as well, with a boatload of acidity to boot. The winery notes say Fragile pairs well with lighter fare and warm, sunny days. I'd have it with pork chops in a heartbeat. — 7 years ago
Just perfect: blueberries and herbs in complex layers. Reminds me why I love languedoc! (Happy 24th!) — 8 years ago
The perfect wine with sweet chocolate the charcoal finish pairs perfectly — 9 years ago
Nose: mineral feeling, bit of petrol/tar, not too much fruit here, fresh feeling
Palate: super acidity here, rounded taste... stone fruit finish

Nose: rich flavours: red pepper, violets. Great freshness. Red and black fruit (black and red berries), bit of garigue, juniper, time.
Palate: silky and smoothy, although still young style. Good lightness and acidity, red fruit – elegance and finesse of an higher altitude.
