Mas Amiel Maury Rouge 1985 comes from the Maury appellation in Roussillon, southern France, an area renowned for its fortified wines made in the style of Port. Mas Amiel is the reference estate for the region, with a history dating back to the early 19th century and a reputation for producing some of the most age-worthy sweet reds in France.
Made primarily from Grenache Noir, Maury Rouge is fortified during fermentation to preserve natural sweetness and concentrate flavors. The 1985 vintage has developed extraordinary complexity with nearly four decades of bottle age. It now shows aromas of dried fig, prune, cocoa, and spice, layered with notes of coffee, walnut, and balsamic undertones. On the palate, it is rich and velvety, with sweetness balanced by freshness and a long, warming finish.
Fully mature, this 1985 Maury Rouge is a rare opportunity to experience the aging potential of fortified Grenache from Roussillon. Perfect with blue cheese, chocolate desserts, or simply savored on its own as a meditative wine.
