This white Minervois, a blend of Marsanne and Muscat à Petits Grains, captivates with its rich and harmonious character. Harvested in the cool of the morning, the nearly overripe grapes yield a delicately pressed cuvée, whose temperature-controlled fermentation and aging on fine lees in tanks for three months develop complex aromas. Pair it with a variety of dishes; it has excellent aging potential of 3 to 4 years.

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.
