DESCRIPTION
History
Founded in 1923 in Baixas, the Dom Brial cooperative winery has embodied the excellence of Roussillon’s naturally sweet wines for nearly a century. The 1995 vintage, a patient legacy of this expertise, was awarded a Grand Gold Medal at the Vinalies Internationales 2022, confirming its status as an exceptional wine.
Vinification
Made from Muscat of Alexandria and Muscat à petits grains, this naturally sweet wine is produced by liquid-phase fortification (mutage) to preserve the grapes' natural sweetness. After controlled maceration, it benefited from prolonged oxidative aging in old oak vats (foudres).
Tasting
The brilliant golden color with amber highlights signals the richness of this Muscat. The nose captivates with elegant notes of dried fruit and forest floor. On the palate, bitter and candied orange dominate, supported by a round texture and a fresh, delicately minty finish.
REGION
Languedoc-Roussillon
France
Le Rivesaltes est l’un des grands vins doux naturels du Roussillon. Issu principalement de Grenache, Macabeu et Malvoisie, il se décline en styles ambrés, tuilés, grenats ou rosés. Vieillis longuement, les vieux Rivesaltes révèlent des arômes uniques de fruits confits, de noix et de rancio, cette note oxydative recherchée par les amateurs. À leurs côtés, le Muscat de Rivesaltes qui dispose de son AOC propre depuis 1956, propose une autre facette tout en fraîcheur et en parfums de raisin, d’agrumes et de fleurs blanches. Ensemble, ils composent un patrimoine viticole rare, parfait pour les amateurs de vins de garde et de millésimes historiques.
