TASTING NOTE:

An impressive nose, starting with a zest of pomelo and orange, following with the notes of blackberry and black currant. On the palate this wine is rich with fruit flavours balanced nicely with firm acidity. This wine offers plenty of opulence and aromatic freshness, the sign of a great Grenache wine derived from calcareous schist and red clay.

ROBERTPARKER.COM

Boasting knockout floral aromas of roses, violets and garrigue entwined with blueberries and raspberries, the 2020 Maury Sec Vers le Nord is complex and fragrant. A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah from cooler, north-facing sites, it's full-bodied and supple, yet structured, with soft tannins but enough acids to hold things together. Then it finishes lush and long, with echoes of stone-fruit flavors.

GUIDE TO THE FRENCH WINE REVIEW 2022

Vers le Nord is a dry Maury with beautiful aromas of peony and wild pepper. The mouth is still narrow and the tannins a little dry in the finish, but fresh.

17.5/20

JANCIS ROBINSON

Lots of liquorice on the nose. Red fennel and paprika! Spicy spicy spicy. Cranberries and red earthiness. Long and savoury and crunchy. So deliciously ambrosial and singing that it's almost easy to overlook how very seriously beautiful this wine is.
