The Maxime cuvée is an expression of Mourvèdre from old vines, revealing its depth thanks to a unique terroir of fine clay soils. The winemaking process is distinguished by hand-harvesting with destemming and an extended maceration of 20 to 45 days. This wine offers a solid structure while displaying a velvety texture, ideal for pairing with refined dishes.

Domaine Borie de Maurel
Syrah dominates here without overpowering the other elements: in Minervois, Michel Escande has patiently crafted a style that is ample yet never heavy-handed. The old vines, rooted in the limestone slopes, yield wines with a tight structure, consistent depth, and unexpected freshness. Extended aging refines the contours while preserving a natural spicy character. In short, the estate embodies a certain Languedoc classicism, but a living, thoughtful classicism, focused on precision rather than raw power.
