Un Vent de Folie 100+ 2020
Maury Sec AOP
Loading...
We’ve championed Jean Charles Duran’s superb Un Vent de Folie for a decade. This is his Grand Cru version. It uses Grenache and Carignan from his 100+ year old Maury Sec vines, and the wine is barrel aged. Powerful yet elegant, balanced and long.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Wine
Maury is a tiny appellation in Roussillon, long prized for its sweet, fortified Vin Doux Naturel. If you’re already a fan of Jean-Charles Duran’s Un Vent de Folie, you’ll know that Maury’s very poor soils and windswept slopes produce exciting reds too. So exciting that in 2011 a new appellation was created, Maury Sec AOP, for the area's best reds. Jean-Charles has a few rows of prized 100+ year-old vines within Maury Sec and with the grapes he wanted to make a very special barrel-aged wine. He talked to a good friend, our winemaker Mark Hoddy, and the result is the fabulous 100+. It’s an intensely concentrated, old-vine Grenache and Carignan, carefully barrel aged in fine French oak for up to two years, and will age magnificently.
