Domaine Pouderoux - Maury Grenat 2022
Domaine Pouderoux is located in Maury, in Roussillon . The estate was passed down from mother to daughter for 6 generations until Robert Pouderoux, only son, who has since given the property to his little cousin Louise Tanguy . She is accompanied by her friend Léo Hemmer Bury . The vineyard was converted to organic farming from 2011 and obtained its biodynamic certification in 2021. The duo ensures ecological diversity on their islets of vines by promoting habitats for insects, birds and bats as well as as endemic plant species: almond trees, kermes oak, rockroses, broom, serviceberries, euphorbias, arbutus trees, mimosas and junipers. The terroir consists of a subsoil of brown marl, covered on the surface with black schist. Louise and Léo produce sweet and dry wines in the Maury appellation, with low yields.
Maury Grenat is made from Grenache Noir grown on black schist hillsides in the Maury appellation. The harvest is manual, with selection and sorting by plot. The grapes are destemmed then mutated on grapes with maceration for 20 days. The wine is aged in stainless steel vats for a short period to preserve the freshness of the fruit. It is bottled in spring, in cool weather, in accordance with the lunar calendar.
Grape variety: 100% Grenache Noir
