Maury rouge sec, Montpin, Pouderoux - 2014

At the CAVE, we have a passion for Roussillon, whether it be for the great natural sweet wines in all their forms, or for dry wines, which have never been so accomplished in this southern region, but which are capable of producing unique and endearing wines with a tightrope walker's balance.For six generations, the Pouderoux family has been cultivating the vines on the schist and red clay terroirs of Maury, in the upper Agly valley. If the grandfather was one of the pioneers of the AOC, his grandson was able to diversify into the production of great sweet and now dry red Maury wines. The property has been converted to organic farming with certification. The vinification has been softened in the extractions and the maturing, relatively long, is now done only in used barrels or vats, in order not to wear out the beautiful and fragile fruit of the grenache. The result is pleasing. 2023, the year of transition at Domaine Pouderoux. Indeed, Robert and Cathy Pouderoux are gradually giving way to Louise Tanguy and Léo Hemmer Bury. 2023 will be the year of the handover to Maury, while continuing the transmission to partners and customers.
