2023 Maury Nature de Schistes Rouge

Bold, Velvety, and Deeply Expressive

The 2023 Maury Nature de Schistes Rouge embodies the pure personality of Grenache Noir and Carignan grown on the region’s distinctive black schist soils. A hand-harvested, low-yield cuvée crafted with care, this wine delivers ripe black fruit aromas, luxurious texture, and a warming, silken finish. Its depth and intensity make it a true ambassador for the Maury terroir: rich, generous, and full of Mediterranean charm.

The result is a concentrated yet supple texture, with well-integrated tannins and exceptional roundness. Awarded Gold at the Grenaches du Monde 2025 and Silver at the Decanter World Wine Awards, this is a bottle that balances authenticity with excellence, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Pairing Suggestions:

Pair with Boeuf Bourguignon, duck with olives, or coq au vin in winter; equally delightful with grilled lamb chops, ribeye steak, or smoky barbecue ribs.
