Thunevin Calvet - Maury - Fortified - 1978 :

 

A Roussillon Masterpiece: The THUNEVIN - CALVET MAURY

From the heart of the Maury appellation, the THUNEVIN - CALVET MAURY is an exquisite Fortified Red Wine (Vin Doux Naturel) crafted by the renowned Domaine Viticole Thunevin-Calvet. Produced from Grenache Noir grown on the region's unique schist soils, this wine is a testament to the power and elegance of Southern French winemaking, offering a drinking experience akin to a fine Port.

Tasting Notes: Richness and Finesse

• Appearance: A deep, rich garnet that develops attractive brick-red edges with cellar age.
• Bouquet: A complex array of aromas featuring concentrated red and black fruits, rich cocoa, Christmas pudding spices, and hints of caramel and dried fruit (dates, prunes).
• Flavour: The palate is luxurious and smooth, with a powerful structure. The natural sweetness is balanced by excellent freshness, leading to a lingering, sophisticated finish of dark chocolate, coffee, and a delicate, mature rancio character.

Food Pairing: The Perfect Digestif

Serve this Maury slightly cool (14-15°C) to fully appreciate its depth. It is a superb match for quintessential British puddings and strong, mature cheeses.
