Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France - Revue du Vin de France 2023 : 92

LEGENDE is crafted from a historic vineyard within the Cabirou district. Here, old vines of Grenache Noir and Carignan sink their roots directly into the bedrock. This parcel expresses the character of calcareous schist with remarkable clarity, showcasing both fruit intensity and mineral precision.

TASTING NOTES:

Aromatically pure and harmonious, LEGENDE opens with red fruits (cherry), subtle spicy notes of cardamom and vanilla, complemented by hints of liquorice and cocoa bean. The palate is elegant and fresh, supported by a fine tannic structure, great aromatic depth, and dynamic tension.

FOOD PAIRINGS :

Ideal with lamb tagine and onion marmalade, or hearty beef stews.

TERROIR AND VINE MANAGEMENT:

The Cabirou parcel is located in the northern section of the MAS AMIEL estate. This exceptional plot looking southeast was the birthplace of the estate's first dry Maury, thanks to its unique terroir: highly decomposed calcareous schist resting above a gravelly clay layer, just above bedrock. The plot is farmed 100% biodynamically. The soil is tilled by horses – Rambo and Vagabond. The yield is limited to 20 hl/ha.

GRAPE VARIETIES:

The Cabirou plot is special because two different grape varieties are co-planted together, thereby combining a high percentage of Grenache Noir (80%) with Carignan (20%). These old bush vines were planted in 1949.

HARVEST:

Manual harvest. Bunches are sorted twice on a belt and vibrating table before destemming.

WINEMAKING:

Vinified in 50-hl stainless steel vats.

MATURATION AND BOTTLING:

Aged in concrete vats before bottling.

GUARD TIME:

10 to 15 years old

GUIDE TO THE FRENCH WINE REVIEW 2023

Légende gives pride of place to old Grenache and Carignan; planted in 1914 on the Caribou plot, a 2-hectare cirque on calco-schist, for this wine with beautiful body, which combines floral, charcoal and a lovely salivating persistence.
