AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

2 x AOP Natural sweet wines Maury 1988 – Vintage Collection – An Exceptional Treasure from Maury winemakers in Roussillon

Presented in their elegant Vintage Collection cases, these two bottles of Maury 1988 embody the timeless nobility of one of France's most revered Vin Doux Naturels.

Born from the sun-drenched schist terraces of Maury and patiently matured over decades, this rare vintage is a remarkable testament to the artistry of time. More than thirty-five years after harvest, the wine has reached a level of complexity and refinement that only the finest fortified wines can achieve.

A Rare Expression of Time

The 1988 vintage reveals a deep mahogany robe and an extraordinarily luxurious aromatic palette. Successive layers of dried figs, black cherries preserved in alcohol, candied fruits, cocoa, roasted coffee, liquorice and precious spices unfold with remarkable elegance. Notes of walnut, caramel and noble rancio add further depth and sophistication.

On the palate, the wine is sumptuous and silky, combining concentration, freshness and impeccable balance. The finish is exceptionally long, lingering with nuances of dark chocolate, dried fruits and sweet spices.

An Experience Reserved for Connoisseurs

Maury is often regarded as one of the hidden gems of the world's great fortified wines. Mature examples from outstanding vintages such as 1988 have become increasingly scarce, particularly when preserved in their original presentation cases.

Whether enjoyed alongside rare dark chocolate, aged blue cheeses, foie gras or simply as a contemplative after-dinner wine, this vintage offers an unforgettable tasting experience.

Collector's Note

Collectors increasingly seek mature Vin Doux Naturels from great vintages, yet opportunities to acquire a matched pair of Maury 1988 in original presentation cases are becoming increasingly uncommon.

This distinguished lot represents not merely two bottles of wine, but two liquid witnesses to nearly four decades of patient maturation. An elegant acquisition for collectors, investors and lovers of rare French wines.

A refined and highly collectible offering, combining rarity, provenance and the extraordinary beauty of a mature Maury at its peak

Seller's Story

We are located in Rivesaltes on the designation area of the VDN of Languedoc Roussillon. We have historically specialized in the regional appellations (Muscat, Rivesaltes, Banyuls Grand Cru, Maury...). With a team of qualified oenologists, we select and age the finest Natural Sweet Wines that mature in a dedicated climate-controlled cellar. More than 1,450 barrels stand like a wine cathedral, with a storage capacity of 4,300 hectolitres of wine aging, including some old vintages that are now rare.
