Our Review of the Cuvée
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 massive. The old vines, rooted in the limestone hillsides, yield juices that reveal a tight grain, consistent depth, and an unexpected freshness. Extended aging refines the contours while preserving a natural spicy character. A short sentence. The estate embodies a certain Languedoc classicism, but a vibrant, thoughtful classicism, focused on precision rather than raw power.
