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.

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.
