DESCRIPTION
History
In the heart of Roussillon, Château Les Pins (Dom Brial) carries on a winemaking tradition rooted for nearly a century. Recognized as one of the great ambassadors of the appellation, the estate produces rare vintages capable of very long aging.
Vinification
Crafted from Muscat à petits grains and Muscat of Alexandria, this naturally sweet wine is obtained through traditional fortification (mutage). Prolonged oxidative aging in barrels bestows it with a unique patina and remarkable complexity.
Tasting
Its yellow color with old-gold highlights signals an elegant maturity. The nose evokes refined notes of vermouth and sweet spices. The palate, round and expressive, unfolds aromas of candied orange, fig, and honey.
REGION
Languedoc-Roussillon
France
Rivesaltes is one of the great vins doux naturels of Roussillon. Made mainly from Grenache, Macabeu and Malvoisie, it comes in amber, tawny, garnet and rosé styles. Aged for a long time, old Rivesaltes reveal unique aromas of candied fruit, walnut and rancio, the oxidative note sought by connoisseurs. Alongside them, Muscat de Rivesaltes, with its own AOC since 1956, offers another side, all freshness with scents of grape, citrus and white flowers. Together they form a rare wine heritage, perfect for lovers of wines built to age and historic vintages.
