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

LEGENDE, a cuvee from a single plot cultivated on the historic place called Cabirou. Here the old Grenache black vines mixed with Carignan are in direct connection with the bedrock. They transmit the faithful image of the Calcoschist for a dynamic interpretation as close as possible to the fruit with a mineral and fresh length, a red like a white.

The favorable alchemy: soil, south-east facing exposure and the age of the vines gave birth to the first Maury Sec in history.

GRAPE VARIETIES:

Dating from 1949, the Cabirou plot has the particularity of being planted with mixed grape varieties with a dominance of Grenache black (80%) and Carignan (20%).

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.
