DESCRIPTION
History
In the heart of Roussillon, Château Les Pins – Dom Brial highlights the unique expression of Muscat de Rivesaltes through great vintages produced in limited quantities. The 1998 vintage, awarded a Gold Medal at the 2015 Muscat du Monde competition, is part of the lineage of exceptional cuvées preserved by the Baixas winery.
Vinification
Crafted from a blend of Muscat à petits grains and Muscat of Alexandria, this naturally sweet wine is obtained through fortification (mutage). After controlled fermentation, the wine underwent patient oxidative aging, which enriched its complexity and aromatic depth while bestowing its brilliant color.
Tasting
Its bright golden-yellow color immediately catches the eye. The nose opens with intense and refined aromas of ripe orange and candied fig. On the palate, the texture is full and generous, supported by a beautiful freshness that balances the aromatic richness.
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.
