Description
The 2016 Maury “Falguayara Nord” from Domaine Paul Meunier is a strong and intense wine, typical of the Maury appellation, renowned for its fortified sweet wines made from Grenache. This cuvée showcases a concentrated and generous expression of the schist soils and hot, dry climate of the Maury region in Languedoc-Roussillon.
Blend
100% Grenache, a grape that provides aromatic richness, depth, and great intensity. This fortified wine is produced through the mutage process, where alcohol is added during fermentation to preserve the natural sugars of the grape.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep dark red, almost black, with intense violet reflections.
Nose: Powerful and profound, dominated by aromas of jammy black fruits (black cherry, blackberry), notes of cocoa, prunes, and hints of spices (cinnamon, clove). The wine also reveals garrigue and licorice notes with a slight nuance of leather.
Palate: The wine is opulent and velvety on the palate, with a rich roundness. Flavors of black fruits blend with dark chocolate, coffee, and sweet spices, accompanied by a slight mineral touch typical of the schist soils of Maury. The finish is long, complex, and marked by a gentle sweetness that balances the silky tannins and freshness.
Aging Potential
This 2016 Maury can be enjoyed young for its richness and aromatic intensity, but it also has exceptional aging potential. It can evolve and improve in the cellar for 15 to 20 years, developing tertiary aromas of undergrowth, tobacco, and dried fruits.
Food Pairings
The Maury Falguayara Nord is a fortified sweet wine that pairs perfectly with chocolate or black fruit desserts, but it can also complement bold dishes:
Dark chocolate desserts (fondant, mousse)
Black fruit tarts (blueberries, blackberries)
Blue cheeses (Roquefort, Bleu d’Auvergne)
Game (wild boar, venison) with fruit-based sauces
Spiced Mediterranean cuisine
