DESCRIPTION
History
Founded in 1923 in Baixas, the Dom Brial winery has established itself as one of the great names of Roussillon. Their Amber Muscat de Rivesaltes hold a special place there, serving as true witnesses to the passage of time. The 1989 vintage illustrates this tradition with over three decades of patient, mastered aging.
Vinification
Crafted from Muscat à petits grains and Muscat of Alexandria, this naturally sweet wine is obtained through fortification (mutage). After pressing and slow fermentation, the wine underwent long oxidative aging in old oak vats (foudres), developing unique aromas and remarkable depth.
Tasting
Its luminous amber color with green highlights bears witness to its rare evolution. The nose reveals great complexity, ranging from dried fruits and quince to honey. The palate, full and elegant, opens with notes of citrus, lemon, and candied orange, supported by a surprising freshness.

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.
