Alcôve est une cuvée de Maury doux naturel issue à 100 % de grenache noir, cépage emblématique du Roussillon. Elle puise sa richesse dans la diversité des terroirs de Tautavel, Maury et Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, mêlant schistes noirs, argilo-calcaires et sols argilo-schisteux.
Vendangés à la main avec un tri rigoureux, les raisins sont vinifiés avec précision : fermentation courte suivie d’un mutage sur grains, puis d’une macération prolongée. L’élevage en fûts de chêne français pendant 10 mois, sans recherche de bois marqué (fûts anciens), permet d’affiner la structure tout en respectant le fruit.
Une cuvée qui allie puissance, gourmandise et élégance, dans un style fidèle aux grands Maury traditionnels.

The vineyard is predominantly planted with Grenache (Noir, Gris, and Blanc), complemented by old Carignan vines, as well as Macabeu and Syrah depending on the plot. These contrasting terroirs allow for a nuanced expression of the Maury appellations, both in dry and naturally sweet wines, with a constant focus on balance rather than showiness.
Organic farming, practiced since 2008, is part of a holistic approach to living organisms. Soil work is primarily done by hand, respecting natural rhythms and biodiversity. The goal is not intervention for its own sake, but rather the pursuit of a sustainable balance between the vine, the ... Lire plus
