Fidèle ‘Soleilla’ Maury Sec AOC

94 pts – Intense & powerful wine, though it manages to stay pretty light on its feet. Dark berries, scrub herb & lavender perfume, meaty & slightly malty. Plenty of flavour, distinct regional herb mouth-perfume, dark raspberries & a ‘mineral’ feel, especially pleasant crushed stone tannin, bitter almond & a long clean finish packed with tannin & bucolic fragrance. Excellent wine. Personality plus.

Gary Walsh, Winefront, Apr ‘21
92 pts -Medium to deep ruby-red hue. Dark cherry, boudin noir & garrigue aromatics. The palate sits quite deep & rich, jammy fruits nestle amongst dried herbs & lavender complexities. A stony line of tannins tightens & focuses the very long finish. It handles the high alcohol remarkably well.

Description

About Terres Fideles

Born in the wilds of Roussillon. The Soleilla vineyard is perched high in the dramatic hills & terraces above the Vallée d’Agly with a unique character of its own. The famed black schist is interspersed with pockets of limestone from the higher slopes, combining the richness & power that is typical of Maury with a fresher, more finely defined character.

Crafted by Fergal Tynan MW, Fidèle is a blend of 80% old vine Grenache from the very low yielding hillside Soleilla vineyard & 20% century old Carignan from the summit of the plateau. As Fegal states, “it is these people & places that inspire our winemaking. It is our duty to create wines that allows the fruit to express the spirit of the place – ‘L’esprit de lieu’. “
