Maury

Appellation d’Origine Protégée

The AOP Maury covers mainly the terroirs of the commune of Maury, as well as a part of the neighboring communes located north of the valley of Agly.

It represent a natural corridor covering 17 km in length and 4 km in width plus some plots on different villages : Maury, Saint-Paul de Fenouillet, Tautavel and Rasiguères.  The vineyard is about 800 acres and produces about 7,000 hectoliters a year, made only on low-yielding terroirs to obtain the sweetness and sugar specific of the Vins Doux Naturels (Fortified Sweet Wines).

The varieties of Grenache grown in this region are: Noir (Red), Blanc (White) and Gris (Grey)

The vineyard of the AOP Maury spreads on hills of black marl and black shale and black soil (Aptian schist, metamorphic and often decomposed), which restores the heat stored under the Mediterranean sun at night, and allows the grapes to be very rich in sugar.

In the Glass

The AOP Maury produces several types of wines: Maury red and white, Maury Grenat, Tuilé, Ambré, Hors d’Age and Rancio. These wines are defined as colorful with aromas of sour cherries and red berries for the youngest wines. Prunes, candied fruits and dried fruits for the oldest and finally cocoa, coffee and nuts for old wines.
