Domaine De La Preceptorie "copain Comme Cochon" Maury Sec, 2023

Domaine de la Préceptorie’s "Copain Comme Cochon" Maury Sec 2023 is a characterful dry red from Roussillon, offering a modern, approachable take on this historic southern French appellation. It combines generosity, freshness, and a distinctly Mediterranean edge, making it an appealing bottle for anyone who enjoys authentic, terroir-driven reds with plenty of personality.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby to dark garnet colour, with an inviting nose of blackberries, ripe plums, garrigue herbs, and a subtle smoky, earthy note. On the palate it is typically medium to full-bodied, showing juicy dark fruit, peppery spice, and a savoury mineral thread that keeps the wine lively and balanced. Maury Sec wines are known for their structure and depth, and this 2023 vintage should offer immediate drinking pleasure while still having enough backbone to develop more complexity over the next few years. The finish is usually firm yet fresh, with lingering herbal and dark fruit tones.

Production
Maury sits in the sun-drenched heart of Roussillon, where schist-rich soils, dry conditions, and strong Mediterranean influence help create concentrated, expressive wines. Domaine de la Préceptorie works with the character of the region, with careful harvesting to preserve freshness and a vinification style aimed at highlighting fruit purity, balance, and the natural intensity of the terroir.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roast chicken with herbs, charcuterie, tomato-based dishes, and mature hard cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C for the best expression of fruit and spice; decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if you want to soften the tannins and open up the aromatics.
